Destroyer: Building a Dimensional Universe from Scratch

Two days later, on the edge of the bustling capital city.

On the balcony of a high-end apartment building, several fashionable women gathered in a circle, chatting excitedly, preparing for a special encounter.

They are modern urban ship girls who are curious about themselves from parallel worlds. They have actively applied to participate in this exchange activity, looking forward to seeing themselves in the world of Urban Ship C.

"There is only one position for Taiho. If the Taiho from that world dares to compete with me for the position of commander, don't blame me for being rude."

"Akagi? I heard that she is a caring big sister in that world? Oh, Commander, am I not caring enough?"

"Since they are coming to challenge us for the position of commander, we must strike first..."

A beautiful elite belonging to the Urban Sakura Fleet raised her eyebrows while discussing this sensitive topic with Taihou, which made Sister Li frown.

"I understand your desire to meet the ship girls from another world and see another self, but please be sure to abide by the basic principles."

Richelieu reminded everyone calmly and cleared his throat.

“First of all, we can’t bully them. After all, those girls are also ship girls, and to some extent, they belong to the same camp as us.

"I understand that you are reluctant to share the commander's emotions with others, but please be careful not to do anything that would embarrass the commander.

"We are already city ship girls. When facing fellow ship girls from another world, we should show due generosity and tolerance. Do you understand?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Dafeng, Luo En, Akagi and others with her sharp eyes.

Most of the ship girls were friendly, but a few seemed a little aggressive.

The named ship girls answered with a hint of playfulness.

With the application of space jump technology, their perspective on the world has changed. Those ship girls who used to be able to move only on the sea surface now look more like ancient relics in front of the city ship girls.

"Secondly, if you encounter special individuals such as the Northern Princess or the Harbor Princess, please show mercy. They may have important research value."

Richelieu emphasized again.

In this world based on a near-future city, the topography is different but not alien to the Earth itself. There are no supernatural powers here, only the Deep Sea Princess, who is slightly more powerful than a city in the pre-space age.

"Moreover, judging from the setting of the Kane C world, there should be humans there, but they have been forced inland by the deep-sea ships, and their situation is similar to the blue world we live in.

"How to deal with the humans in that world will be left to the commander to decide in the future."

Without the identity of a ship girl, the KanC world is just like an ordinary human ocean city.

The method of managing the Blue World is also applicable to the Ship C World - this is Lu Chen's understanding of the entire process that he has already mastered.

After confirming that all the people were correct, he called up the star map display terminal.

【Urban Fleet Collection (Star Era)】

This world is set in a city on Earth in the near future, and the terrain structure has been adjusted.

In this age without supernatural powers, the existence of the Deep Sea Princess is a threat to the urban civilization of the pre-space age.

[Comparison of strength between the two sides:]

- Technology level: Initial development

- Military strength: Beginning to take shape

- Economic strength: Steady growth

Lu Chen looked at the data on the strength analysis interface and felt secretly delighted.

"It seems that our economic strength is finally no longer as god-like as others! Is it because we have become stronger, or are the humans in the world of Kane-C too weak?"

Prior to this, there was no currency circulation and lack of economic activities within the base, and even compared with other feudal indigenous societies, its economic strength was considered out of reach.

This made Lu Chen feel a little dissatisfied, but when he thought that the fleet was the bottom line, he felt relieved.

“Ding Di——”

The system prompt sounded.

"In view of the actual situation of the host civilization, we have updated the algorithm for comparing the strength between worlds."

“The economic strength will be comprehensively assessed based on the productivity of both sides, covering agriculture, industry and other sectors.”

“This is the correct way to judge!”

In the past, comparing economic indicators was meaningless to him, as if everyone was standing on a pedestal. But in the interstellar era, a civilization's productivity level can better reflect its economic capabilities.

Today, Lu Chen controls more than a dozen subordinate worlds. In his eyes, most civilizations are still in the primary stage, unless he encounters a great civilization that can create resources out of thin air and provide unlimited supplies.

"This way, the neighboring countries on the star map will look much more pleasing to the eye."

“Three neighbors who are just starting out are actually ideal partners.”

Adhering to the principles of Paradox diplomacy, Lu Chen activated the communication equipment.

After the screen flashed, a big sister appeared. She was wearing a white sleeveless short top, a red short skirt, and her black hair was tied into a high ponytail. She was sitting on a huge ship, with two triple-mounted 460mm turrets behind her. Anyone familiar with it could recognize whose iconic weapon it was at a glance.

She held a paper umbrella in her hand and cruised leisurely near the coast.

She was startled when the holographic projection came into view.

"Hey, Yamato, it's really you!"

Lu Chen waved at her.

As the strongest battleship of the naval base in the Kantai C world, it is not surprising that Yamato can be connected.

"Eh?!"

Yamato was so frightened that it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

“You are?! Human? No... We haven’t had any contact with humans for a long time.”

“Or are you a military representative from another continent?”

Lu Chen's temperament and uniform reminded her of a soldier, but she had never seen similar military uniforms and badges.

Lu Chen simply greeted him, and several urban ship girls behind him also waved to the C ship Yamato.

"Unfortunately, we don't have Yamato or Takeshi in our port area.

In the bustling modern city, Lu Chen led a special operations team consisting of the Wannian Fengxue and two affiliated fleets. They continued to patrol at high altitudes, keeping a close eye on the city seascape below.

What was presented before him was an endless blue ocean, with modern high-rise buildings and busy port facilities scattered along the coastline. Although this world was similar to the previous KanC worlds and the Azure and Canglan worlds in some aspects - for example, they both had a planet dominated by oceans, the land area was slightly smaller than that of the Earth.

On the sea, you can see some female warriors wearing damaged armor with dark green glow on the edges. They wander aimlessly on the water, surrounded by thick black fog, which dyes the sea water black wherever they pass. Among them, the larger deep-sea ship is tightly surrounded by a group of small ships in the center.

"Is this the Deep Sea Princess?"

A group of ship girls from the Azure World huddled together, observing the scene below through scopes and communicating with each other in confusion.

“It feels a bit like a member of the Siren family, but the Siren Queen is obviously more evolved. Oh, if only the Observers and Purifiers could make progress in their research on the Allspark.”

Lu Chen shook his head slightly, thinking of the Siren girls in his own naval port who were obsessed with the research of the source of fire and had no time to play with the little ship girls on weekdays. He looked forward to the surprises they could bring after the design of the new ship was completed.

Although the Deep Sea Princess at this time is somewhat similar to the Siren Queen in appearance, with the same overly pale skin color and radical ship design dominated by black and red, she is far inferior to the latter in terms of technological sense and is still in the era of using physical weapons, albeit more powerful ones.

Just as they were using advanced sensors to conduct holographic scanning and analysis, the radar suddenly sounded a series of alarms.

"Commander, a conflict has occurred in the sea 133 kilometers to the north! The deep-sea ship and the ship girl are fighting fiercely!"

The screen quickly switched to the designated area, showing a tense scene: a small team of shipgirls leaping and shuttling on the waves was surrounded by the deep-sea princesses. The team was led by the white-haired shipgirl Shokaku, who was wearing a red and white kimono and holding a longbow, and also included Zuikaku and several other destroyer girls such as Akatsuki Raiden and Yudachi Fubuki.

Faced with the deep-sea ships and their large and deadly fleet of carrier-based aircraft, the situation of the ship girls becomes increasingly critical.

"The familiar battlefield scene reminds me of the days when we fought against the Sirens..." Bai Long couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed, the sea is always the real stage for the ship girls." Lu Chen couldn't help but want to correct a point: "However, don't forget that this is a modern urban background. These deep-sea girls are no match for the Sirens. We have to intervene in the rescue as soon as possible!"

At this moment, more than a dozen shipgirls were trying their best to resist the fierce attack of the Deep Sea Princess. As the core force of the Fifth Carrier Battle, Shokaku and Zuikaku led the destroyer girls such as Akatsuki Raiden and Yudachi Fubuki, and launched carrier-based aircraft one by one to fight against the approaching deep-sea carrier-based aircraft.

However, the number of deep-sea princesses far exceeded expectations, and with their powerful firepower, the ship girls soon fell into a tough battle. Among them, a destroyer girl with blonde hair, red eyes, and a lop-eared dog-like hairstyle anxiously shouted for help: "Big crisis! We are about to be surrounded!" Another ship girl wearing a sailor suit and a rabbit ear hair accessory relied on her excellent maneuverability to shuttle through the enemy camp and fight back.

Shimakaze, a destroyer known for her speed, also flexibly shuttled among the many deep-sea ships, with her ship's firepower fully open, continuously dropping torpedoes to attack them.

At the critical moment, a deep male voice came through the communication system: "Shokaku, Zuikaku, stand back."

Shokaku stopped moving involuntarily, and saw several beams of fiery dark red light flash across the sky above the sea level, shooting directly at the deep-sea fleet in front of them, causing a devastating explosion. The deep-sea ships were almost instantly reduced to ashes under the attack of advanced weapons in the interstellar era.

Then, a group of shipgirls with angelic wings were released from the bottom of a starship in the sky. They were like heavenly soldiers and generals, and they launched a fierce pursuit of the remaining deep-sea forces. This gorgeous light and shadow show intertwined with high-tech weapons and corrosive explosives made the shipgirls dumbfounded.

A few minutes later, the sea returned to calm. The once mighty deep-sea fleet had disappeared without even a fragment left.

"It's unbelievable..." Shokaku and Zuikaku stared at the scene in front of them in a daze, and Yukikaze's voice came from the communicator: "Hi! We are the ship girls from the Star Empire! Don't worry, Lady Yukikaze will protect your safety!"

The ship girls were so shocked that they didn't know how to respond for a moment.
