Not long after, two large transport ships from the Navy Administration arrived at the port area of Mio Hawara.

These transports are escorted by a direct flotilla.

This is the reward after the settlement of the special mission, including the various resources consumed in the Habara Mio Minato area, and the loot belonging to Habara Mio obtained by the other two commanders who participated in the special mission after cleaning up the battlefield was also sent along with it.

Mio Habara thanked Wang Yu for his help and handed him a piece of the Mind Core and an enhancement chip from the loot.

The mental core is her inventory, which is mainly prepared for the future Venice Heavy Cruise.

The augmentation chip is the spoils of the mission.

Although this booster is only a primary weapon protection upgrade, the effect is to reduce the probability of damage to the ship's primary weapon.

Wang Yu immediately gave the chip to Anna and asked her to fuse it with her own mental core.

Annapolis relies on four main turrets to output, so avoiding being dismantled by the Sirens in head-on combat is indeed a nice enhancement.

And in addition to these things, she also handed Wang Yu a letter.

The letter was supposed to have been delivered by courier, but for now it seems to be a ride on the Navy Administration's ship.

After the letter was delivered to her, she knew that it was for Wang Yu as soon as she saw the information on the envelope, so she brought it to him.

Wang Yu glanced at the letter and knew that it was a reply from Elis, who was in Union City.

Calculating the time, it has been two months since I sent the letter.

Letters are an inconvenient thing.

He opened the envelope and poured out the letter paper filled with Juanxiu's lettering.

The letter is not long, at least not as long as the last time.

[Dear Commander,

Hello.

You won't believe how excited and happy I was when I received your reply.

Yes, I'm willing to be honest and say that I originally sent that letter with the idea that I would never receive a reply.

You may be able to understand how powerful the surprise can be if you didn't expect something to happen, but that thing happens smoothly.

So, when the maid brought your reply to my desk, I couldn't even believe it for a moment, and at that moment I lay on my bed, took a long breath, and didn't dare to open your reply to me for a long time, because I was afraid that it was an illusion, and when I opened the envelope, I would wake up from a sweet dream.

Forgive me for talking to myself, I was so immature that I couldn't get excited about this little thing.

It took more than two months from the time I sent the letter to the time I received your reply, and after inquiring with the company that sent the letter, I learned that the few safe routes on the sea were blocked by the sirens, which led to the slow delivery of the letters, which also made me think that the ocean blocked by the sirens was so difficult to cross.

I wonder if you know anything about the siren blockade?

Ah, I'm sorry, I trespassed, maybe it's a commander's secret, and I shouldn't have inquired too much.

Although the waiting time of these two months is long, it does make me understand the meaning of the existence of letters - the delay of waiting will make all feelings more mellow, just like the ripening of fruits, but also like the brewing of fine wine, although time can change many things, but when the feelings are not changed by time, then this relationship will be precious.

In the process of waiting, we seem to be looking forward to the fruitful fruits of autumn, eagerly, anxiously, and expectantly.

My thoughts haven't changed, and maybe the letters are still inefficient, but they are worth savoring.

So, once again, my name is "Elise".

In addition to the meaning stated in the previous letter, this pseudonym has another meaning, it comes from an opera that I like very much......]

Underneath this passage is an excerpt from the opera script.

The writer even changed the color of ink to transcribe the text.

Wang Yu went through it briefly, and he could only say that he had heard a little about the content of this part.

This script is supposed to be an excerpt from the first scene of Act IV of Shakespeare's The Tempest, in which Elis plays the role of Elis, the goddess of the rainbow, who is also the messenger of the gods and the pseudonym of Elise on the other side of the letter.

The culture of the previous world and this world is strikingly similar, like the moonlight he heard on the radio when he first came to this world.

After the excerpt, the letter continued.

[I hope you don't hate me for making such a self-conceived tirade about this pseudonym, because the beauty and power contained in this passage fascinate me, I have never seen the scene depicted in the text, but I am constantly fantasizing and copying in my heart with the words.]

I'm sorry, but I'm stuck in my hobby again, it's my bad fault, and people around me often say that about me.

Yes, I love opera, I like to tell stories artistically, and I fantasize about being able to write stories that will amaze everyone with my own pen.

In this letter, I just wanted to share with you what I loved.

What about you? Commander, what do you like? 】

This is the end of the letter.

His ideals are very clear, to build a fleet, to build a port area, and to use the gate of the border to go home is like a thought of not sharing the sky with the sirens, and like a longing for the glory of returning home.

However, this letter made Wang Yu wonder, what is his hobby?

Fight? No, even if he was often in the company of warships, it could not be said that he loved to fight, and in comparison, he would prefer to let the sirens disappear and the world return to peace.

I don't seem to be able to figure out my hobbies for a while.

Wang Yu touched his chin and thought for a moment, he turned his head to look at Anna: "Anna, what is your hobby?" ”

Anna was stunned and said hesitantly, "Stay by the commander's side...... Count? ”

Wang Yu shook his head: "This can't be said to be a hobby. ”

Anna thought for a moment, "Maybe that's cooking...... That's it. ”

That's what she thought, hey!

I thought the ship's mother would take fighting as a hobby.

Wang Yu shook his head, deciding not to think about this troublesome question, he found two pieces of paper and picked up a pen, ready to write a reply.

Before the convoy of the Admiralty had returned, he handed them the letter.

Anna quietly poked her head over and looked at what Wang Yu had written on the letter.

[Dear Elise,

Hello.

Your question is obviously very acute to me, and I can't even think of what I love for a moment.

Or rather, I wasn't born with any hobbies, and in the face of the siren crisis, this kind of thing was too much luxury for me.

If anything, delving into tactics is my hobby?

But it's actually something I have to do in order to fight.

Hobbies should be motivated by interest, not by compulsion.

But now I think that exchanging letters with you might become my hobby.

……】

After writing a simple reply, Wang Yu sealed the envelope, wrote the address, and then sent it to the courier who came with the transportation team of the Navy Administration.

The letter will travel across the ocean again, thousands of miles away.

…………

In the following days, Wang Yu and Anna left the port area together for a while.

He mainly felt that squatting in the port area was idle, so it was better to go out and find something to do.

Annapolis departed from the port and spent half a month cruising offshore.

To put it simply, I found some sirens and left the fleet to fight a few times.

But it's a pity, and I don't know if the probability of the siren detachment fleet exploding the loot is too low, or Wang Yu's face is too dark, Annapolis sank six siren cruisers of various types and a bunch of siren destroyers, but not a single trophy is not.

And Anna is a full-trained ship girl, and she can't improve her level by fighting with these free sirens, so coming out is basically just killing time.

The only gain may be to give these sinking records to Mio Hahara, so that she can help exchange them for military merit in exchange for something back.

Wang Yu has no channel to contact the Navy Administration, so he kind of uses Mio Habara as an intermediary.

However, seeing that the girl did not object, Wang Yu was naturally happy.

And on the way back, something happened that is worth mentioning.

On the way back, Annapolis found an archipelago about a hundred nautical miles from the Habara Mio port area, which has a total of seven large and small islands, distributed in a circle on the surface of the sea.

But if it's just an archipelago, it's not unusual, mainly because the central part of the seven islands is a beautiful-looking circular atoll about five meters above the sea.

In the middle of the atoll there is a lagoon with wide and calm waters.

When Anna told Wang Yu about this discovery, Wang Yu immediately thought of the value of this place in a tactical and strategic sense, based on the admiral's keen thoughts—the seven surrounding mountain islands could be used as natural barriers, while the central atoll and the vast lagoon were natural warship anchorages on the sea, and the Truk anchorage in the last world was a lagoon.

This means that a natural place to build a naval base can be.

You know, he can't be attached to Mio Habara all the time.

At present, it is mainly because of his lack of combat power, so he can only temporarily stay in Habara Mio, and when he has more and more warships in the future, he will inevitably leave Habara Mio and develop his own port area.

So even if it is still far from the construction of the port area now, the location has become a problem that he has to think about - the far sea is definitely not good, and he is still counting on finding a way to get resources from the Navy Administration to develop, but it doesn't seem to be good to be too close to Mio Habara, after all, it is a joint port area, and it is difficult to swagger in by himself without attracting attention.

Therefore, now seeing this archipelago that is a certain distance from the mainland but not too far away, as well as the atolls and lagoons in the middle of the archipelago, Wang Yu immediately felt that this place was very suitable for use as a large port area.

The atoll is a natural breakwater, and the lagoon in the middle is calm and has only a few openings connected to the ocean, so it is suitable as a place for warships to anchor.

And on the surrounding atolls, there is also plenty of space for shipyards and other equipment.

As for the surrounding islands, you can choose a large area with a pleasant scenery as a residential area in the port area.

Obviously, everything is arranged clearly.

Wang Yu told Anna what she thought, and Anna seemed to have some imagination about this future.

So, Anna stopped the ship near the archipelago.

Then Wang Yu and her took the traffic speedboat on the warship and sailed to the atoll in the center of the archipelago.

Battleships can't go anywhere, it's normal for warships to have seven or eight meters of draft, so he has to determine whether this place can be used as a port area, if the reef here is crowded and the average water depth is not more than ten meters, it can obviously only be used as a tourist attraction and not as a military base.

There is underwater listening on the Annapolis, so I don't know if this is the reason, as the ship's mother, Anna also has the ability to detect underwater terrain.

At a glance, she could see the depth of the shallow sea and the various obstacles that might arise underwater.

As the dinghy made its way through the circle of seven islands around the atoll, Anna had already identified a route that would allow the Annapolis to sail in safely, and the depth and currents had not been able to stop the ship, at least so far.

They then went into the lagoon in the atoll.

It is a sea that changes from the pale blue of the shore to the deep blue of the middle, and although it is called a lake, it is actually connected to the sea outside - at first glance, the scenery is beautiful, and the water in the shallow area is also very clear.

Under the winter sun, Wang Yu felt as if the speedboat he was riding was floating in the air.

Soon, Anna also determined the approximate depth of the place.

The shallow edge of the atoll, about a few meters or so, increases rapidly as you move towards the center of the lagoon, where the depth of the water is basically maintained at more than 30 meters, and the maximum depth can reach 70 meters, which is obviously enough for ships of any size to anchor.

Moreover, the seabed is flat and dominated by sandy ground, where battleships can anchor at will.

What a natural harbor!

Wang Yu can already see what the future warship will look like here.

He grabbed Anna's shoulders with some excitement and gaffe and said to her, "This can be our future home!" ”

Anna smiled quietly and nodded, she understood her commander's excitement, of course, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang Yu grabbing her shoulder.

However, Wang Yu reacted after a moment that his actions were a little rude, he coughed lightly and let go of his hand, and put his hand in his trouser pocket in embarrassment: "In short, Anna, remember this place, and when Venice gets out of the water, we will consider building here." ”

"We need a lot of stuff that way." Anna earnestly consulted Wang Yu: "The building materials needed to build a house, various types of supplies, and the communication lines in the Habara Mio Port area, as well as ......"

Wang Yu was most excited by her words.

He sighed, "yes, it seems that there are more and more things in front of us. ”

But after a while, he lifted his spirits, it doesn't matter how many problems there are, just solve them one by one!
