Chapter019 Replenishment at Sea

"Mrs. Kazao will supply your battleship."

In the communication, Mio Hahara said to Wang Yu: "So please keep the battleship on course and maintain a speed of ten knots, and then you don't have to worry too much, her side will complete the rest." ”

Listening to her words, Wang Yu set his eyes on the oil and water supply ship that was approaching.

Normally, oil and water supply ships do not belong to the combat sequence like maintenance ships and engineering ships, which means that these ships are not warships in the conventional sense, but listening to Mio Hahara's statement, could it be that these non-military ships also have the existence of ship mothers?

So he inquired about his doubts.

Habara Mio explained with a smile: "Of course there is, the ship mother is not strictly a warship can be generated, from the current point of view, it should be 'can directly contribute to the attack of the sirens' ships can form consciousness, so these ships that can provide supplies and maintenance for the fleet can also naturally generate consciousness and form a ship mother." ”

To put it simply, the warship fighting the sirens is a contribution, as is ensuring the logistics of the warship's operations.

"Is it so amazing?"

Wang Yu thought back to the comprehensive supply ships that supplied the fleet in the last time and space.

They are indeed the unobtainable existence of the fleet's support, and every time the fleet is covered in bruises but cannot return to port for the time being, they rely on these dedicated supply ships to provide the fleet with fuel and ammunition replenishment and necessary simple repairs.

Wang Yu couldn't help but think that now that he was in another world like this, it would be nice if a supply ship could follow him.

It can only be said that he thinks very well, and then dreams.

"That's it." Habara Mio said seriously: "My fleet relies on them to fight long distances, and they have made a lot of contributions to the development of the port area." ”

"They?"

"Well, in addition to Mrs. Feng Zao, there is also a female Stove God in my port area, and her body is a maintenance ship."

It seems that the world has not yet developed a comprehensive supply ship that integrates maintenance, supply, and medical treatment.

However, Wang Yu did not intend to say more on this topic, but shifted the direction of the inquiry.

"You just called her...... Wife? Wang Yu was a little curious about the ship's mother: "Is the ship's mother still old?" ”

"You misunderstood." Habara Mio denied Wang Yu's speculation: "Ship girls have no age in the strict sense, and the years will not leave any traces on them - but ship girls have character, Feng is a very tolerant and loving ship girl, and anyone in the port area can confide in her if they have troubles, so over time she has become a 'wife'." ”

"Is that so......" Wang Yu nodded.

The supply ship dedicates itself to the fleet behind the scenes, and it seems that the character of the ship girl formed is also related to its function.

And while Wang Yu and Mio Hahara were saying these words, the huge fuel supply ship also approached from the side.

Bunkering at sea is a complex affair that requires the cooperation of the crews on both sides of the ship.

Even the Annapolis, which has a "Kraken" system, still needs to be sent by the supply ship to assist when it performs refueling at sea.

Wang Yu was curious about how the supply of this world was carried out.

He had already informed him in advance that the ship was located at the oil port on the deck, which was a small platform in the middle of the hull, with a double armored sliding door that could be exposed when the armored door slid open to the side.

Wang Yu had already opened the oil port, and since Mio Habara had already said that he didn't need to worry about the next refueling process, he came to the side side, intending to see how the supply ship with the ship's mother worked.

And the results did not disappoint him.

The two ships approached to a distance of only about a hundred meters and began to maintain the same speed in parallel.

Then, suddenly, a steel cable shot from the ship, which slowed down as it approached the Annapolis as it seemed to have a spirit, and then wound around the ship's mast in a direction that was very inconsistent with classical physics.

Newton: This ...... I...... TM…… Never mind......

Wang Yu was stunned by the movement of this steel cable, but he then realized that the more surprised was still to come.

A pipeline slid down the steel cable towards the Annapolis, and as it approached the port, it was like a nimble snake, adjusting its diameter straight and then inserting it into the port without any delay.

Wang Yu: "Ah? ”

How does this TM come from?

This must have been a very surprising sight.

Not only because of the intelligent steel cables and oil pipelines, but also because of the amazing efficiency when refueling.

Replenishment at sea has always been synonymous with "time consumption", even if it is a non-threatening refueling of a warship, the time consumed is measured in hours.

The oil transportation takes up a part of the time, and the operation of the oil pipeline before the oil transmission also takes up a long time.

But now, the Annapolis and the Wind Morning have begun to sail in parallel, and it only takes a few minutes to fully set up the pipeline.

Is this a bit ......

Could it be that this is also the effect of the ship's mother?

While his face was still very numb, the 1,000 tons of diesel fuel loaded on the Fengzao had already begun to be sent down the pipeline into the oil depot of the Annapolis.

It would take a while to replenish the fuel, and Wang Yu returned to the bridge.

Mio Habara's voice came from the communication.

"Well, magical." She said proudly.

"It's amazing." Wang Yu nodded in acknowledgement: "Is this the credit of that Miss Feng Zao?" ”

"Yes." Habara Mio replied, "It is precisely because of Mrs. Kazaha's excellent training that the supply time that my fleet usually needs has been greatly reduced. ”

That's certainly a good thing.

Ships receiving supplies are bound to be vulnerable.

So the faster the resupply, the lower the risk of the fleet being attacked by the Sirens.

Mio Habara then asked, "By the way, Mrs. Kazao asked if you needed any other supplies, such as fresh water for food and drink, and she could send them in pieces." ”

Ah, what a kind ship.

It is worthy of being a supply ship, and it treats all warships with the same kindness.

However, Wang Yu didn't need other supplies, he was the only one on the battleship, and those supplies were abundant.

Soon, the refueling of the battleship was announced.

The pipeline detached nimbly from the receiver and retracted back onto the Wind Haya along the cable, and the cable wrapped around the mast of the Annapolis was easily untied, and was retracted after a splash on the surface of the sea due to inertia.

Immediately afterwards, the refueling ship adjusted its course and moved away from the Annapolis.

This is the end of the refueling process.

The Annapolis once again gained momentum, and with at least 1,000 tons of fuel, the ship could easily sail to the port area with Mio Habara.

"Then let's move on."

Habara Mio looked at the vast sea in front of her: "I've been out for so long, I'm already a little homesick." ”

Prince Eugen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Commander, do you really think it's right to let this strange warship into our harbor area?" After all, it was a warship, and although that battleship had saved us, he was not one of us after all, and our port area ......."

"I understand your concern, Eugen."

Habara Mio turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, I know in my heart, I have already said it when I told that Mr. Wang Yu about this before, at that time, in addition to entering the maintenance dock, that battleship will not enter the anchorage in our port area." ”

"If only the Commander knew that."

Prince Eugen breathed a sigh of relief.

Mio Habara turned her head and looked at the Annapolis not far away.

"Don't worry, I have a hunch that his presence will be a great help to our port area."
