Chapter 10111: New Life

Previous Chapter

I've never missed my 120 cm height so much. And even more tangled, I became the "ship of Theseus".

Theseus, as a hero, returned to Athens after defeating the Minotaur on the island of Crete. The ship on which he returned was preserved as a monument to this great feat. But over the years, the ship decayed, and every year the decaying hull was replaced with new materials. Finally, one day, not a single plank on this ship is the original, so is this ship still the original ship of Theseus?

The USS Enterprise nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was built, well, many people at the top will definitely be happy, not to mention, when summoned, there is a small chance that there will be a joint summoning - it is to add a head. For example, if you build a battleship, you will have an extra destroyer or something—usually between two ships that are much closer together. For example, it once happened that Bismarck was summoned and Prince Eugen came out together. There is also the one that summons Admiral Hipper, only to find that there are fireflies stuck on it.

So as a by-product of summoning the Enterprise, one more destroyer is theoretically acceptable.

The only problem is that there are not enough resources. The summoning of the Enterprise is already filled with a half-crippled destroyer. When the company's mother found that the construction was not over, she released the F14 to clear the site, and decisively threw her left arm and 5 reactors from the resource port.

So...... I was built by myself.

By the way, change to nuclear power.

By the way, due to lack of resources, I lost ten centimeters in height, but fortunately, there were no missing parts on my body.

However, I'd rather have some parts missing, at least to be able to fix them when they are fully equipped. For example, the corporate mother, whose reactor can be pressed on just a dock and the deck can be resurfaced. In most cases, it is impossible to complete the construction without resources, and there will be situations where the Immortal has been summoned but the body cannot be formed - such as this time. But it has also happened in the past, a certain hapless admiral built under the condition of insufficient resources, and the result was the situation of the headless New Orleans, which is said to be extremely terrifying at the scene, and if it were not for the admirals who were trained to resist SAN value reduction, it is estimated that they would be scared to death on the spot.

But the headless New Orleans senior sister later overhauled the bow of the ship. But my ship's hull Kunming is indeed all tailed, so I don't even know where to find the lost ten centimeters......

"Don't think too much about it, just know that you're still my child." Mom came up from behind and patted me on the shoulder.

Rafite, seriously wounded. According to my mother's own words, the caliber below 500 mm will not pose a threat to her at all, and she claims that she is not able to fall into the kamikaze, and there is no one else with this kind of self-confidence.

We stood on the deck of the USS Missouri, the superstructure almost halfway through, the main guns in the bow blown off, and the power was insufficient. It stands to reason that in this state, the battleship should not sail. But we had a reason to sail.

In the Battle of Pearl Harbor, none of the capital ships sank due to the order to sit on the beach. Destroyers and cruisers, in the melee and subsequent nuclear strikes, sank less than a ten. In such a battle, the losses can be called almost minimal. However......

None of the naval officers who coordinated the command on the shore, even if they knew the time of the nuclear strike, retreated, and none survived the battle until the last moment.

The bodies of 372 naval officers, wrapped in naval flags, were thrown into the sea from the deck in rows.

The ship's mother, who stood solemnly on the deck, raised the still smoking naval gun in her hand and fired her gun in greeting.

The dull sound of cannons, the flying mist, the oppressive air, and a few schoolchildren standing on the deck sobbed quietly.

"If you want to open it, you're at least alive, aren't you?"

The commissar who was like a mummy was comforting the schoolchildren. She and Lieutenant General Grant completed the launch in the control room of the nuclear bomb that had caught fire, suffering extensive burns. Thanks to the advancement of science and technology, I had to wait for death before the war, and now I am covered in bandages and attend the funeral of my peers.

Lieutenant General Grant saw that I was depressed and came over to talk.

Not only was I depressed, but I was confused.

I'm a little confused about the relationship between the 2333 squad and the Admiral now. According to the words of the corporate mother, "You are the bone in my bones, the flesh in my flesh ......"

"After all, we're victorious, Tsunami."

After the funeral, the USS Missouri hobbled back. The docks were crowded with people, civilians, military men.

“HIP! HIP! HOORAY!!”

They shouted in unison.

“HIP! HIP! HOORAY!!”

The soldiers and shipwives on the deck replied in the same way.

The oppressive atmosphere was swept away. The USS Missouri flew a full flag. Everyone seemed to be celebrating something. Amid the constant shouts of the crowd, the loudspeakers played "AnchorsAweigh".

Lieutenant General Grant ran over and motioned for Mom Business and Mother Rafi to leave and have something to say to me.

Then he pulled me to the stern of the Missouri.

I looked at the lieutenant general, who was wearing only his eyes and hair in a bun and barely wearing an officer's cap, wrapped in bandages, and speechless.

"It's a cruel world."

"I know this very well. All the officers who stayed on the shore died, and there was not a single officer above the rank of major general at Pearl Harbor, and in one day the height shrank by nearly one-tenth, and I never doubted the cruelty of this world. ”

"When I say cruelty, it's a little different from what you mean." The lieutenant general's voice was a little tired. "Humanity is a unified government, and most of the military resources, at least for the navy, are uniformly deployed."

I nodded, this is common sense.

"Every commander, what kind of heroic spirit to summon, everyone wants to find a pattern. But everyone doesn't know what kind of Heroic Spirit they will summon until they are summoned. But after the summoning, everyone can find a reason to summon the Heroic Spirit. ”

That's right, for example, to summon Rafi, because it's my mother. Summoned the Enterprise because it's also my mother. Summoning yourself...... Well...... This one. But before summoning, he had no idea what kind of Heroic Spirit he would summon.

"This is called metaphysics. Statistically speaking, an officer who summons a powerful Heroic Spirit may summon an even more powerful Heroic Spirit in the future. Although there is no official statement, in the officer community, we call this kind of damned person 'European', and the face is terrible. And you, summoning Rafi, Enterprise...... is still nuclear-powered, and after the Kunming, even if the top management doesn't say anything, in fact, it is definitely labeled as European. ”

General Grant, as a standard Anglo-Saxon, is it necessary for you to say that about me? Moreover, with extensive burns all over your body, I can guarantee that your skin will be whiter than albinism in a short period of time after you are cured.

"Well, after I remove the bandage, I'm sure I'll get a shot. But we're talking about your problem. Compared to those of us who only come out with the same destroyer no matter how many resources are invested, as long as you guys want to build it, it will allocate resources for free, do you understand! Do you understand, ahhh

General Grant began to howl hysterically, worrying that her wounds would not break.

"Dajian issued the second enterprise number...... Dajian II issued the Enterprise ......," General Grant gasped through gritted teeth.

She's my mother, can you handle it if she's willing to come out?

"You won't need any resources in the future, they will be allocated to you; And I have to work hard to salvage and save rations. Child, today I, as an elder, want to tell you about the cruelty of this world......"

Lieutenant General Grant jerked out something from behind him, and when he looked closely, it was a spear with something like a gun tassel twitching ~twitching~

"This is what I managed to get from the Polynesians, the Maori spear ......"

So I said, can't you just stay honest when you're injured?

"It's a monk's hat jellyfish that is piercing it!"

……

The mummy lieutenant general stood with his spear in his hand, and the sea breeze gently blew it, raising the twitching tentacles of the monk's hat jellyfish, and gently brushing the lieutenant general's face.

"Medic! Medic! ”

What a cruel world......
