"The rock formations are very new, probably a new island"

“……”

"If I had known that this place existed, I should have retreated here at that time."

“……”

Am I playing single-player?

"Well, Miss Saratoga, can you tell me where that metal mine you found is?"

It's so hanging, the blonde girl is finally willing to speak: "Just call me Gaga......"

Pointing to the top of the mountain in the middle of the island, he said, "That's it."

The rugged mountain roads and sparse vegetation on the way all confirmed Rilan's previous conjecture.

The island was probably born in recent decades as a result of an undersea volcanic eruption, and it is understandable that it carries a large amount of metal ore and has not been discovered.

Merely......

The atmosphere is too oppressive now.

I remember that it wasn't like this when we met the first few times.

Walking ahead, Lilan thought helplessly.

Although I'm also afraid of life, I remember that the basic communication before was still no problem, and I remember that at that time, I asked Lilan to help her pass the word to her sister......

Thinking of this, Lira's steps suddenly froze.

"Gaga, can I ask you something?"

"Hmm"

"At that time...... Why did you ask me to help you speak? Because of his back, Saratoga couldn't see Lilan's expression clearly at the moment: "Isn't it better to do this kind of thing yourself?" ”

After a short silence, a timid voice came from behind: "...... Sister Akagi wants to take Gaga out of the Sixth Town Guard"

Li Lan was stunned, this answer was different from what he expected.

"But Gaga wants to stay, perhaps...... Maybe my sister will be the same as Gaga and emerge from there"

Even as an outsider, Lilan can clearly feel this obsession.

Ashamed of the doubts in his heart, Lilan's tone was faintly apologetic: "...... Does Gaga like your sister a lot? ”

"Hmmm! My sister is the best sister to Gaga, ah, of course, Sister Akagi is also ......"

"If you don't mind, can you tell me about your sister?"

Lexington, Saratoga's sister ship, regular air carrier, glory of the First Voyage War.

In addition to various descriptions such as "gentle personality" and "like to take care of people", before arriving at his destination, Rilan got effective information from Gaga's mouth.

"I don't know where it is, but my sister must be waiting for Gaga......"

“…… When everyone at the relay station is repaired, let's go find it together."

The girl raised her head in surprise: "Eh......"

"Well, we've got to get out of this place anyway, and when the time comes, we can walk around and run through all the town guards along the way—"

Again, a gentle smile returned to Rilan's face: "When the time comes, I will definitely be able to find your sister"

―――――― Split ――――――

As Akagi said, the purity of the metal on this island is indeed enough to support the ship's repair, but it is also a little too strange.

Moreover, this thing in the center ......

It doesn't look like it's natural.

Located in the center of the summit at an altitude of more than 200 meters, it is not a metal mine as expected, but a cavity that leads to the bottom.

The radius of this hollow reached as much as 2 meters, and the stone walls inside were rough but generally flat, and the bottom was pitch black, even if the midday sun could not shine inside, making Li Lan involuntarily recall the abyssal rift he encountered in a certain world.

A stone was dropped from his hand, and a few seconds later there was a popping sound.

"It's probably the sea down there."

Standing up, Lilan explained to Gaga, who looked puzzled: "Just to see if it will have an impact on mining, it doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment."

"Oh......" Gaga nodded as if he didn't understand.

This thing is definitely not naturally formed.

I took a deep look at the deep black cavern, which existed almost perpendicular to the sea.

It wouldn't be a pure material attack or an explosive energy jet, otherwise it would definitely spread to the surrounding area, and it should be some kind of light energy annihilation nature energy similar to the light energy in his hand, or a penetrating nature attack similar to a high-speed water jet......

Subconsciously look at the sky above your head-

Could it be, fell from there?

Shaking his head, put aside this unrealistic "delusion", these things are too far away from him, and the most important thing now is to "mine" as many metal ores as possible before sunset.

It is said to be mining, but in fact, it is just digging out those metal ores with sufficient purity directly with a light blade.

The fourth-order high-level light blade, if necessary, Li Lan can even control its length at about five meters, but the relative consumption is not something he can maintain for a long time.

In addition, the output of light energy needs to be increased when cutting, and the total amount of demand is different as the degree of hardness increases, so for now, it is still far from the lofty goal of empty-handed ship dismantling (deep-sea habitat ship).

Even so, the current light blade cutting is still far beyond the vast majority of segmentation instruments in this world.

Until the evening, a total of 213 units of steel resources were successfully "mined", and it was Lilan who deliberately controlled the speed in consideration of the weight of Akagi and Gaga.

The ultimate "technology" from the world of high magic, as the restraint is reduced, it slowly begins to show its unimaginable power.

"Phew, that's all, Gaga, call Akagi over"

"Yes!"

Looking at the ships slowly moving along the coastline in the distance, a question suddenly popped up in Rilan.

"Gaga, what is the level of you and Akagi?"

"Level?"

"Well, battleship class"

"Battleship level words......" nodded his chin, Gaga's brow furrowed slightly, as if he was distressed about something

"It's supposed to be 30, right?"

The action of wiping sweat suddenly froze.

"Maybe 40? I forgot about it because I didn't pay attention......"

I still remember Nagato told him when he was in the sixth town guard, the average level of the shipwreck in the sixth town guard is 20, even if it has experienced a lot of battles, Ninghai is now only worthy of LV6, and the highest sound in the seventh town is only LV9, and now suddenly there is an LV30~LV40......

What to say...... Is it worthy of a prototype ship that repelled two fleets alone?

However, Gaga doesn't seem to have spared Rilan's meaning yet.

"Sister Akagi, it should be around LV50 now, because it was already LV48 when I first saw it."

“……”

The worldview is collapsing.

"Lord Admiral, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't make noise, I want to ...... quietly"

"Quietly?" Gaga tilted his head, and his long supple blonde hair spilled with his movements, but this beautiful scene was ignored by Lilan, who was in a certain state.

"Lord Admiral, who is Jingjing?"

“……”
