Then, Dean Maria turned to the twin Ruoya and said, "Please show her the manufacturing theory and experimental data of tree armor." Then she turned to Shen Yiyi and said, "Don't forget to read every sentence of the material carefully. If you have any questions, I will answer them for you then."

Shen Yiyi was surprised and delighted when she heard this. According to the regulations, as the executor of the experiment, she usually had no chance to access the design theory and statistical data of the equipment, but only these were the most critical aspects of the equipment.

This time, Maria's special permission made her cherish it even more. So, she signed the access document solemnly, received the materials, and began to study them carefully.

However, when Shen Yiyi finished reading the detailed information about the special tree armor, the last sentence shocked her and even made her feel a little helpless. At the end of the document, it was written: "This document is a top-secret document of Huayue Country."

"Oh, you'll be sentenced to five years in prison for reading top-secret documents without permission." Dean Maria's voice came from behind.

"Huh? Didn't you ask me to see it?" Shen Yiyi was confused. What was going on?

"I asked you to see it? Do you have any evidence?" Dean Maria responded gloomily.

Seeing Shen Yiyi looking at her like a fool, Dean Maria immediately put on a bright smile: "Hehe, Ding Dalke is not giving up. I heard that he is trying to transfer you to the front line. So, I have no choice but to use this trick."

Then she raised the document in her hand to receive the signature record.

"As the person who has read this top-secret document, you have signed it. So, you have to stay here obediently and don't think about going anywhere before the document is decrypted. Now, even if Dingdark has a transfer order from the Ministry of War, he can't take you away, unless he takes over the Secret Service as well. Hahahaha!" The two-faced Maria laughed up to the sky and left.

Shen Yiyi was speechless for a moment. It turned out that Dean Maria had done this to stop Officer Dingdark from thinking about it. They really did what they wanted, and I didn't know what their IQ was.

In fact, Shen Yiyi overlooked one point, that is, during the war, people were extremely eager for military geniuses. They hoped that a hero would appear to boost the morale of the army and change the situation. That's why they were so obsessed with Shen Yiyi's belonging, which also indirectly reflected their recognition of her ability.

While Shen Yiyi was busy in the design institute, the brutal war between the invading forces of Huayue Kingdom and Riyuan Kingdom was still going on.

The Japanese invaders intensified their ground offensive against Cuiwei Island, pushing forward from south to north. However, Huayue Kingdom was at a disadvantage because it was very passive in the early stage and almost half of its manpower was wiped out.

Although they defended desperately, the battle line was inevitably pushed to the northern plateau, and several cities outside the Sigh Corridor fell completely. Although these cities had been occupied by the invading army of the Sun Kite Kingdom, the resistance inside the city had never stopped.

On the outskirts of Cuiwei Island, the Japanese invasion fleet has already controlled the major routes leading to Cuiwei Island. These routes are basically traditional high-quality routes, without fog, reefs, or swaying buoys. They can be said to be the lifeline between various seas and islands.

After these lifelines were occupied by the invaders of the Sun Kite Empire, Cuiwei Island could be said to have completely become an isolated island. The fleet from the Central Islands was attacking day after day, but because the invaders had a geographical advantage and were well-rested, they had no way to open up the route to Cuiwei Island, even if they shed more blood and made more efforts.

These news continued to be transmitted to the design institute in Sanjiangyuan City, and people's mood became increasingly depressed, as if shrouded in a haze, and they didn't know how long this resistance could last.

The smooth flow of life on the sea is of vital importance to Cuiwei Island. If the route cannot be opened, this once vibrant island may become an isolated dead island, allowing the invaders of the Riyuan Kingdom to erode and occupy it until it perishes.

The propaganda machine of Huayue Kingdom is running at full capacity, constantly calling on people to rise up in resistance through various channels such as City Tree and Fujino Network, and the flame of resistance has never been extinguished.

In the flames of war, some cities have been reduced to ruins and millions of lives have disappeared in the smoke of gunpowder. But even in the face of such a cruel reality, the underground resistance fighters in those cities have never retreated.

They were formed spontaneously by the scattered soldiers of Huayue Country. Although they were holding tattered weapons, they continued to harass the enemy with their tenacious will and unshakable faith. Their resistance was like the faint starlight in the dark night sky, small and tragic, but dazzling.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the junction of Huayue Kingdom's central sea area and the blue sea area. This route, which was only half a day away, became the key to determining the fate of Cuiwei Island and an important turning point in the destiny of the two countries. Only by breaking through here could Huayue Kingdom win a glimmer of hope for Cuiwei Island.

Shipping routes are the only way for humans to conquer the vast oceans. After years of exploration, people have finally found shipping routes for communication and trade. These routes are not the shortest, but they are the safest.

Because this vast ocean is filled with countless fogs, storms, whirlpools, and mysterious sea monsters. Only those routes clearly marked on the nautical charts of various countries are truly safe passages. Other places are like forbidden areas for humans. Once you step into them, you may be doomed.

There is a hidden void in the route between the central sea area of ​​Huayue Country and the blue sea area. It is shrouded in fog all year round. Although it is known that the fog is harmless, it is filled with dense metal particles.

These particles would greatly interfere with the sensory plants on the ship, and also reduce people's sight to a minimum. Sometimes even when two warships passed by each other, it was difficult for each other to detect the existence of the other. And when they broke through the fog, they might have been in the enemy's camp.

The Sun Kite Empire Navy was on high alert, stationed at the end of the foggy land near Cuiwei Island. They were arranged in three matrixes in an orderly manner, ready to detect and destroy any ship that did not belong to the Sun Kite Empire Navy.

However, the Huayue Kingdom Navy has a natural advantage as an attacker. No one knows when their warships will suddenly rush out of the fog, and no one knows from which corner they will launch an attack.

In a naval battle, any cannon, crossbow or catapult would take a long time to prepare before it could be fired. Therefore, for the Huayue Kingdom's warships, at least half an hourglass of time was safe.

Even so, this battle is still full of sacrifice and tragedy for the Huayue Kingdom Navy. Which fleet will be the first to break out of the fog and become the enemy's priority target? The first warship needs to use its hull to withstand the enemy's fierce artillery fire to buy time for the follow-up fleet.

This question made the soldiers who originally belonged to the Blue Wave Fleet sneer. They raised the military flag without hesitation, posted the slogan "Go Home", and loudly declared: "Let's go! We will take back what we lost!" This was a mission that almost guaranteed death, but they rushed to the front without hesitation.

Not long ago, this fleet responsible for guarding the waters of the Bi Bo Islands was forced to retreat to the central waters of Huayue Kingdom after losing more than 60% of its combat effectiveness.

You know, most of them are locals of the Bi Bo Islands. Watching their homes and loved ones suffer from the devastation of war while they are powerless to do anything, this pain and sadness goes deep into their bones.

Therefore, every day they spent in the central sea area of ​​Huayue was full of torture, humiliation and suffering. But it was this humiliation that made them more determined to swear to defend their homeland!

They want to go home!

----

In April of the 123rd year of the Huayue calendar, two months after Shen Yiyi entered the Sanjiangyuan City Weapon Design Institute, the Huayue Kingdom assembled a fleet of more than % of the country's total military strength and began to launch a strong attack on the foggy area and the shipping routes connecting the two seas.

When the local garrison fleet of the Bi Bo Sea, which had been replenished with troops and warships, rushed into the fog without hesitation, the old emperor of Hua Yue Kingdom once again issued a national general mobilization order and a comprehensive counterattack order.

These two orders also spread throughout the world as the towering national tree in Linhai City, the capital of Huayue Kingdom, gently turned its treetops.

"Sister Yiyi, do you think they will succeed?" Looking at the fleets disappearing into the foggy sea without hesitation in the water mirror, Gemini Ruoya's tears kept flowing. She asked while sobbing.

But Shen Yiyi behind Gemini Ruoya didn't say anything, just muttered something in her mouth without even raising her head. Gemini Ruoya quietly walked to Shen Yiyi's side, listened carefully, couldn't help but sighed, and gritted her teeth, feeling that all her enthusiasm had been wasted.

It turned out that at this moment Shen Yiyi was attracted by the data on a tree armor blueprint and the reaction time of different grades of parasitic vine soldiers when manipulating the tree armor. She was so focused that she didn't even look up to see the shocking scenes playing in the water mirror.

Dean Maria gave Shen Yiyi the task of reading the tree armor drawings and memorizing the relevant data. Because Shen Yiyi was quick, she cleared almost all the backlog of experimental tasks in two months, and there was really no experiment left to do.

The dean, who was good at changing his face, felt that it was a waste to let Shen Yiyi idle like this, after all, she was a person with strong hands-on ability and comprehension ability. In addition, she had also looked through the top-level confidential drawings before, so Dean Maria gave Shen Yiyi the permission to look through all weapon drawings and experimental data.

This kind of authority is harder to obtain than ascending to heaven in peacetime, but now is a special period, and no one knows when Sanjiangyuan City will fall into the hands of the enemy. In order to transform the blueprints into combat effectiveness as soon as possible, it is necessary to cultivate a front-line personnel like Shen Yiyi who can understand the intentions and be familiar with the indicators, can read the blueprints, and has strong operational capabilities.

However, because Dean Maria was busy with another crucial experiment, she arranged for Shen Yiyi to study with her twin Ruoya. After all, they were the only two young people in the design institute, and she hoped that they could learn and make progress together.

But as they continued to learn, deviations appeared. Gemini Ruoya quickly understood and absorbed the same drawings and content, and could explain the experimental steps and results clearly. But when it came to Shen Yiyi, it was as painful as when she didn't study for a semester and studied late into the night before the exam, hoping to create a miracle in one night.

For this, Gemini Ruoya often laughed at him. Ruoya was indeed a genius in weapon design, one in a million. But apart from weapon design, in other aspects... he was just an idiot.

For example, shooting, after Ruoya's constant pestering, Shen Yiyi finally agreed to teach her how to use weapons. But for the folding crossbow commonly used by girls, for a five-meter target, the fingers hit the waist; for a ten-meter target, the fingers hit the feet; beyond ten meters, the arrow would have no idea where to shoot.

Fortunately, all the young people in the design institute went to the front line, and few of the old people were interested in shooting, so there were usually only two of them in the weapons shooting range, otherwise they would definitely have been shot to death by the twin Ruoya.

Maybe this is what they call opening a door and closing a window.

In the end, I don’t know if it was because of the twin Ruoya’s tears that worked, but ten days later, the Huayue Kingdom’s Ministry of War released news: a mixed fleet composed of more than 60% of the country’s navy had successfully broken through the Riyuan Kingdom’s navy’s blockade of the foggy area.

Although the Bi Bo Hai area local fleet, as the vanguard, suffered heavy losses, it attracted firepower for the follow-up troops and opened a passage.

The strategic results of this battle have become apparent, and all the fleets of the Riyuan Kingdom have retreated to the south side of Cuiwei Island.

These good news meant that, just as the old emperor had hoped in the Ministry of War office some time ago, Huayue Kingdom and Riyuan Kingdom had successfully reached a strategic balance, and the advantage of the Riyuan Kingdom’s navy in dominating the ocean had disappeared.

After the route was opened, the troops on Cuiwei Island also received supplies, and follow-up troops continued to be replenished from the central sea area. As for the resistance forces in the fallen cities, various supports have been fully restored.

But these news did not stir up too many ripples in Shen Yiyi's heart, because for her, the most important task at the moment was to make herself stronger as soon as possible. She wanted to seize this rare learning opportunity and lay a solid foundation for her future plan to find a sister.

But it was different for Gemini Ruoya. She was busy cheering for the sailors and soldiers who had returned to Cuiwei Island victoriously, and was also fascinated by the young, handsome and extraordinary warriors and iron bird pilots introduced in the water mirror. It can be said that she rarely even went to the shooting range that she was so obsessed with before, and she was determined to be a little hero fangirl.
