The day after returning to China, Zhao Jian came to the old port area of Qingdao with the transfer deed given by Dai Li and the 5 divine cores given by Selassie I. There is a wasteland far from the city, because the terrain is flat and the soil is soft, so it is specially used to store all kinds of hulls, and even the military has set aside a special area here to seal some backward but not completely obsolete old hulls. There are more than 700 ships of all sizes lying here, so it is known as the "ship graveyard".

All the 6 hulls given by Dai Li are stored here, and Zhao Jian came this time to take the 5 small ones away first, but as soon as he arrived at the "cemetery", Zhao Jian recognized the Hydrangea at a glance, because this ship is too conspicuous! The huge hull of 38,000 tons lies quietly in a pile of small boats of less than 10,000 tons, and it looks like it stands out from the crowd.

"This ship is so big!" Zhao Jian said with heartfelt emotion.

Hydrangea was built 15 years ago and took 3 years to complete, except for one visit to Guangzhou during sea trials, the rest of the time was nested in the harbor, and it has never been assimilated by any god core. As early as the beginning of the design, this ship adopted a number of designs specifically for space navigation, with a telescopic "third bridge" and two small hatches at the bottom, which was a great safety hazard for ordinary ships before it was assimilated with the god core.

Temporarily changed his mind, Zhao Jian told the administrator who led the way that he hoped to visit the Hydrangea first, and the other party agreed on the spot. After going up, Zhao Jian found that the situation in the cabin of the Hydrangea was far from as bad as expected, except for the relatively large dust, most of the facilities were in good condition. The management and maintenance of these hulls in the "cemetery" is in place, and most of the hulls are ready to use, except for a few scrap ships that have had accidents.

"As long as you have the right core, this ship can be taken at any time."

"But what I'm missing now is the right Divine Core!"

According to the official figures released by various countries, Datang's current holdings of God nuclear weapons are about 15,000, ranking first in the world, the second ranked British gentleman has 12,500, and the third is the United States, which is prevalent in "money worship", followed by 12,450. At the same time, thanks to the efforts of a large number of treasure hunters, 100~200 new god cores are discovered every year around the world.

Judging from the number alone, there are actually not many divine cores, but as long as the "per capita" killing weapon is sacrificed, this number will immediately be miserable. Among these god cores, only 30% of the ideal value exceeds 5,000 tons, and more than 10,000 tons are less than 10%.

Therefore, in the modern era of the industrial revolution, when the country found that it had too many low-level divine cores that could not be used, it put these small divine cores into the private market to stimulate economic development. Even the high-level god cores above 10,000 tons have been selectively delegated after giving priority to meeting the needs of the army, but most of them are in the hands of big consortia with official backgrounds.

It's true that small ships have more hulls than god cores, but large warships are the opposite!

For high-spec warships, the cost of hull construction and maintenance is astronomical, and at the same time, it also needs to have corresponding shipbuilding capacity and sufficient resources. After all, you can't afford to play the job of "big construction" if it's not a strong country, so most of the top god cores are idle, and even if they are strong countries, they can only be rotated to let them serve.

The Datang Navy currently has 20 battleships of 6 types, as well as the same number of battle cruisers, and the oldest ships are no more than 15 years old. Although this huge fleet costs a lot of money, accounting for more than 70% of Datang's annual military spending, it also effectively maintains the security and connection between the homeland of Earth and the colony of Jupiter. It is precisely because of their existence that the European powers did not dare to use force directly against the Tang Dynasty, and could only adopt a policy of isolation that was slow to achieve results.

And what Dai Li gave to Zhao Jian was to jump outside the "seal" and stir up the chaos in Europe to create an opportunity for Datang to break through the seal. In Zhao Jian's view, this is like wanting to fuel the flames and accelerate the triggering of World War II.

After a busy morning, the little ship mother in Zhao Jian's house had 5 more in one go! The 5 divine cores were all placed on the hull by Zhao Jian himself, and these 5 lively big-headed dolls were named Floating Wave, Shampoo, Langbo, Feibo and Meow Bo in turn! The reason why the last little ship girl is called such a name is because the other party looks different from other ship girls.

It is also a three-headed body form, and Meow Bo not only has an extra tail and a pair of cat ears, but even some habits are similar to those of kittens. Her type of ship girl is a relatively rare "half-orc type" among ship girls, but in addition to being rare, this kind of ship girl is actually no different from the same ship girl in terms of ability.

The loyalty of the Celestial Maidens is theoretically indestructible, but as long as the corresponding "conditions" are met, they can actually betray immediately! In addition, the objects and methods of loyalty of the Celestial Maidens are different, some Celestial Maidens are only loyal to the activator personally, some will be loyal to the entire bloodline of the activator, and even some "fraternists" will choose to be loyal to the nation and country of the activator. But all of this has a big premise, and that is to do with the activator.

In fact, this is the way of the Celestial Maiden, 30 years ago, during the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese Combined Fleet inflicted heavy damage on the Russian fleet coming from afar at home, sinking 21 ships of the opposing side and severely damaging and capturing 9 ships. These Mao Zi Tiannu all showed great bravery in battle, but after the Divine Core was reset by the Japanese, he immediately threw himself into the battle against the Russian Army.

Some people even speculate that the current heavy cruiser Atago uses the divine core of the "Duke Suvorov", the flagship of the Russian Expeditionary Fleet, as evidenced by the unusual blond hair of the other party.

"Hongling, you can help take care of these little guys, don't let them get lost."

"Okay, young master!"

Coupled with the initial Pingbo, Zhao already had 6 3,000-ton spaceships under his command at this time. Among these 6 little things, Pingbo, Langbo and Feibo belong to ADHD, running circles around Zhao Jian chasing one by one, Fubo and Xiangbo are good children, one left and one right honestly sit on Zhao Jian's shoulders, and Meow Bo is a little sleepy insect, who is held in Hongling's arms and falls asleep.

These little guys were named "Bozi Squad" by the Zhao ship, and except for Pingbota's other arrangements, the other five ships are ready to be put into use as soon as the crew arrives in the near future. Two of them are in charge of munitions, and the other three are in business.

Zhao Jian received these hulls in advance, originally intended to let the little ship girls adapt to a period of time in advance, and the over-assimilation had already affected their intelligence, and they might be more rusty with the new hull than human sailors. In addition, he is not worried that the Divine Core will be stolen if it is placed on the ship, because since the completion of the assimilation, the Divine Core will never be detached unless it is authorized by the activator or the energy is exhausted.

After discussing the relevant matters of the handover with the cemetery keeper An, Zhao Jian felt that since he had come to the harbor area, he would simply go to see the things in the warehouse. The people around him can now be said to be confidants, and Hongling will sooner or later develop towards the "female secretary", which is a very important link in Zhao Jian's "cultivation plan". So everyone came to the fourth warehouse area of the harbor area, and the things given to him by Dai Li were stored in the four warehouses of No. 8~11.

It is worth mentioning that this warehouse area directly belongs to the "agent" organization, and the administrators are all Dai Li's subordinates, and as soon as he entered the first No. 8 warehouse, Zhao Jian couldn't help but gasp on the spot. I saw that the entire warehouse was full of munitions! Rifles, submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, mortars are all available, and all of them are foreign.

"British rifles, American submachine guns, Czech light machine guns, Soviet heavy machine guns, French mortars, Japanese grenades...... you, are you going to open a museum or are you going to summon a dragon!? ”

Grabbing a Li Yingfei rifle casually, Zhao Jian found that this gun was brand new, but the number on it had been filed, and all the other weapons had been similarly treated. The administrator said that in the four warehouses, No. 8 is infantry equipment, No. 9 is artillery equipment, and No. 10 and No. 11 are all ammunition, enough to arm a light infantry division of tens of thousands of people.

"When can I take these arms?"

"Anytime." The administrator said lightly.

Bai got a large amount of arms, but Zhao Jian knew very well that Dai Li's "agent" would definitely not be the only one, and the things in front of him were the "capital" that the other party had invested in him, and he had to find his own way to follow-up the source of goods. Fortunately, Dai Li gave him the greatest freedom of action, and there is no hard assignment of any tasks at present, and Zhao Jian can do whatever he wants.

"You've got everything you need to go, now it's time to go outside!"

PS: Spoilers...... In the future, there will be a ship called "Big Wave". (laughs)
