Except for the incomplete experience on the north coast before, this is the first time that Lilan has officially stepped into the "body" of the ship's mother...... Sounds weird?

Shaking his head and shaking off the mess of thoughts in his head, Rilan took the divided metal plate from Hibiki's hand and walked to the broken deck.

In the previous shelling of the deep-sea habitat ship, although the main blasting point had been forcibly resisted by Lilan, the ensuing impact and high temperature still penetrated the rear armor that had no power to resist.

Luckily, the deep-sea ship probably wanted to sink Hibiki as soon as possible, and put the point of attack on the relatively lethal battleship - at that time, it couldn't hit Hibiki's power system in that direction, so when the main damage was blocked by Rilan, fortunately it didn't happen in a bad situation of opening a hole or anything below Hibiki's waterline.

Otherwise, even if it is not sunk on the spot, it is difficult to say whether it will survive the inflow of seawater.

"This is it" The hull under the feet of the ship couldn't help but shake a little in the storm, and Lilan held the pierced gap with one hand and stretched out backwards with the other.

"Hibiki, give me the biggest one"

"Yes"

After taking the metal plate, Li Lan vacated his left hand, and five blazing blades of light poked out from his fingers.

"Thickness...... Probably that's enough."

Calculating the thickness of the armor in the area that was penetrated, Li Lan suddenly found that Hibiki's expression was a little curious - this was a very rare expression for the "three no" ship Niang Xiang who was "speechless, heartless, and expressionless".

"Ringing?"

"Lord Admiral, is your left hand the latest technological product of the Federation?"

Li Lan was stunned when he heard this, and the movements in his hands also stopped, and he said...... It's been more than a month since he came to this world, and he still doesn't know anything about the most basic forces in this world.

"I don't know what the Federation is in your mouth, but this is definitely not a 'new technology' developed by them, if anything......

Fragments of chaotic memories came to his heart, and the corners of Li Lan's mouth grinned, revealing a smile that was not a smile: "If their technology can reach this level, the mere deep-sea habitat ship will be a problem for a long time."

Tilting his head, after half ringing: "I don't understand the ring"

"Well, it doesn't matter if you understand this kind of thing or not" The edge of the metal plate has been baked red by the high temperature on the light blade, because the blue does not dare to expose it to the humid environment for too long in the rainstorm, and directly "sticks" to the missing place.

Although the repaired appearance is a bit flattering like the "heavy shield", at least it can withstand the wind and rain, as for the naval guns of the deep-sea habitat ship...... Including the parts of the armor that still remained intact, the complete Lilan did not think that the hull of the ship could withstand her main gun attack.

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious about the 'Federation' you mentioned."

The blade sticks out and begins to "work" the second metal plate on the hand.

"Doesn't the Admiral know about the existence of the 'Federation'?"

"How so...... I ended up on this island for some reason, and I can almost say I know nothing about the 'basic knowledge' of ordinary people."

Organizing the language, Li Lan was about to further explain his true identity, but Hibiki replied directly: "Hibiki understands"

…… The last time I wanted to explain to Ning Hai, it was the same, is this kind of attitude of not seeking to understand is common to all ship girls?

The United States of Interests, or Confederation for short, is an aggregate of all the nations of the northern continent of the Chelsea Ocean.

Nearly 300 years ago, deep-sea habitat ships were born from the depths of the oceans around the world, without warning to attack mankind, under the huge gap in scientific and technological strength between each other, there are also the tragic consequences of fighting for each other, human beings who have entered the existential crisis of the race have to put aside the grudges between countries to form a federation, and unite the remnants of all countries to form a united front against deep-sea habitat ships.

"Hmm...... According to you, it has been 300 years since the birth of deep-sea perching ships? After the third metal plate was "glued" and the edges were "trimmed" with a light blade, Lilan asked Hibiki, who handed out the metal plate, "For so long, humans haven't tried to counterattack?" ”

"Tried but failed"

In the second month of the establishment of the united front against deep-sea habitat ships, mankind gathered all the remaining naval and air forces to launch a counterattack campaign against the deep-sea habitat ships that were frantically attacking the northern continent.

Annihilated.

After a pause, the next moment it returned to its original state and continued the restoration project at hand.

"And then you were born?"

"Hmm" even though it was such a heavy topic, the tone of the sound was as calm as it was at first, as if everything was normal.

"Combined with the 'Ancient Instruments', we were summoned moments before the imminent collapse of the defensive line to engage in operations against deep-sea habitat ships, and two years later, we successfully repelled the attack of deep-sea habitat ships"

"Two years......"

One can imagine what a crazy and terrible war it was in the final moments of that race, and this war lasted for two whole years.

"Okay" The light blade dissipated, and Lilan tapped on the armor that had been repaired, and said with satisfaction: "Although the appearance is a little unsatisfactory, the defense will definitely not be lower than other places."

"Lord Admiral?"

"It's necessary to know this history, but—" Turning around, he smiled brightly at the sound of doubt: "I'm more disgusted by forcing people to recall those bad things."

“…… Is there something bad about the Admiral? ”

"Ah, in a sense, it's a lot."

―――――― Split ――――――

"Whew...... Fixed! ”

The last piece of armor was "indiscreted", and Lilan's mood was a little apprehensive now.

This kind of "manual" repair means, whether it is Ninghai and Z16 as replica ships, or as prototype ships, has never been experienced.

Even if the whole is almost the same as the original, but the existence and principle of the ship mother is completely black in front of the blue, but there is no certainty of successful repair, and then, you can only see the reaction......

"Hibiki, how do you feel - it looks like I asked in vain"

I don't know when, the clothes on Hibiki are still back to their original intact appearance, and I don't know if it's an illusion, it's a little cleaner?

"In good condition, ready to strike at any time"

"Okay, it's okay......" After hearing Hibiki's answer, Lilan breathed a long sigh of relief, if it couldn't be repaired, Lilan could only forcibly order Ninghai and Z16 to evacuate first, and he and Zhongpo's Hibiki would stick to the "base".
