It is Kokang and Changchun

　"Where... did everyone go? Don't leave... me alone."

　"Hmm... Now that I think about it, if I had used British torpedoes back then, I would have definitely been able to take out Hiei."

　In the waters of the Solomon Islands, two World War II-style destroyers appeared simultaneously in different locations, sailing aimlessly.

　Until the two sides meet at a distance.

　"Solomon... am I the only one left? Even so, I will hold this place... Enemy ship spotted, self-restraint lifted."

　The white-haired loli with twin ponytails on the destroyer flying the Stars and Stripes said this when she saw the Katakana words "アヤナミ" written on another freeboard in the distance and a destroyer with the Rising Sun flag flying at the stern.

　The American destroyer's 127mm turret and 533mm torpedo tube both turned at maximum speed in the direction of the Japanese destroyer discovered by the white-haired, twin-tailed loli.

　Similarly, on the bridge of the destroyer opposite, a young girl with waist-length blonde hair in a ponytail also discovered this American destroyer.

　"Does the US military only have one destroyer? In any case, the power of the devil who hurt my companions, feel it!"

　All the weapons on the ship, including 25mm anti-aircraft guns and ship-borne machine guns, were pointed at the US destroyer.

　Then, the two destroyers opened fire on each other, and the deafening sound of the guns made the sea, which had been quiet for more than seventy years, noisy again.

　The tracer bullets fired by naval guns, anti-aircraft guns, and even ship-borne machine guns formed a gorgeous barrage on the sea.

　The near misses that landed in the water stirred the sea surface like a boiling pot.

　At this time, the patrol ship that had just received the report from the reconnaissance plane and rushed over saw the fierce battle in the distance and could not help but slow down its speed significantly.

　The first mate, who was observing from the side, asked the captain, "Sir, are we sure we want to go up there? Isn't this too dangerous?"

　The patrol ship captain slowly lowered the telescope he held before his eyes and said, "We must go, despite the danger. This is the mission assigned to us by our superiors. Besides, the war has been over for a long time. Can you bear to watch these beautiful sea elves waste their natural resources?"

　The captain picked up the radio next to him and tried to communicate with them to stop the unnecessary fight.

　A Type 93 oxygen torpedo from an opposing Japanese destroyer approached the American destroyer. Fortunately, the white-haired, twin-tailed loli spotted it in time, performed an evasive maneuver, dodged some of the torpedoes, and then fired a salvo from her main guns into the sea, detonating the remaining torpedoes.

　However, the power of the 610mm torpedo is so great that even if it is detonated in advance, it still causes some damage to the hull.

　The white-haired loli with twin ponytails covered her stomach with her hands, looking painful, kneeling on the deck at the bow, sweating profusely.

　She was feeling conflicted at the moment, liking her opponent's Type 93 oxygen torpedo, but also hating it.

　"This is a far cry from what I was at that time... Look at the gun."

　After saying that, the two 127 single-barreled guns at the rear of the warship fired at the same time, accurately hitting the bridge of the Japanese destroyer.

　"Ah!" The girl standing on the firing control panel of the Japanese destroyer suddenly had a wound on her head, and a large amount of blood gushed out. The blood dyed her fair cheeks and golden ponytail red, and dripped onto the deck.

　"I don't want to be...alone..." The girl covered her head and groaned in pain.

　The girl immediately controlled the destroyer under her feet and fired back with three twin-mounted 127mm cannons.

　Just when both sides were fighting fiercely, a wave of open radio communications reached the two ship girls at the same time.

　"Girls, the war is over, for God's sake

　"Go up, cease fire! It has been more than seventy years since you sank, and the warring parties have already negotiated peace..."

　For fear of provoking the two destroyers, especially the Japanese destroyer, the patrol ship captain deliberately concealed the fact of Japan's defeat in his speech.

　"...Now that everyone is coexisting peacefully, fighting like this will only hurt yourselves. It's meaningless. Now, your country and your people still remember you and are waiting for you to return home..."

　After the patrol ship captain finished his persuasion, he waited quietly for their reaction.

　"I hope they are not blinded by rage." This is the common thought of all officers and soldiers on the patrol ship.

　Fortunately, the situation did not backfire, and the two destroyers seemed to have ceased firing. However, no further action was taken by the two warships.

　The patrol ship captain picked up the microphone again and addressed the destroyers, "Beautiful ladies, may we meet? If you have any concerns, I'd be happy to listen. Let me introduce myself. I'm Captain Dulce Jones of the Royal Australian Navy's... (omitted)... patrol ship. May I ask your names, ladies?"

　Although Jones himself felt a little awkward saying this, the most important thing at the moment was to stabilize the emotions of the two destroyers in front of him.

　After a long while, the other side finally responded. First, the tone was cold and lazy, and then there was no sound.

　"I am the seventh Benson-class destroyer, Laffey, hull number 459."

　"A modified version of the Fubuki-class destroyer—the Special II-type Ayanami-class destroyer, the Ichiban-gun Ayanami..."

　After Laffey and Ayanami introduced themselves, the captain ordered the communicator, "Contact the US and Japan immediately and have them claim the warship."

　After receiving permission from Ayanami and Laffey, the patrol ship finally docked between the two destroyers. Captain Jones wanted to invite the two shipgirls out for a meeting, but was rejected.

　"Well, Ayanami and Laffey had a fight just now, and she was injured...very seriously, which will scare you." At this moment, Ayanami has removed the mental model, and she is now talking to the patrol ship crew using the ship's radio.

　Rafi seconded, "Yeah, Rafi too. I don't want to scare you. Probably..."

　Jones said, "It's okay, dear ladies. We are soldiers and have received professional training. We won't be scared."

　Who would pass up the opportunity to see the ship girls up close? Therefore, Jones didn't care too much and continued to politely ask the ship girls to show their human forms.

　After repeated requests, Ayanami and Laffey appeared in front of the bow of the patrol ship and met Jones.

　People are often most courageous when they speak, but reality usually shatters their boasts. When Laffey and Ayanami appeared, they still scared the crew members on the ship.

　Both Laffey and Ayanami looked horrified. Ayanami had a deep gash on her forehead, the blood covering half her face and hair. Her entire body was covered in gunpowder ash, leaving no clean spot. Her already revealing clothing was now tattered and tattered. If a photo of this were posted online in China, it would definitely go viral.

　The same thing happened to Laffey. Her abdomen was also wounded and bleeding, staining her white underwear and pink bunny jacket red. Her white twintails were basically grayed out by the smoke, becoming messy and messy...

　Despite this, the exquisite beauty of the two girls in front of Jones was not diminished at all by their disheveled appearance after having just experienced a battle.

　Seeing this, the patrol ship crew kindly bandaged Laffey and Ayanami's wounds with bandages and temporarily put clothes on them.

　Since both Laffey and Ayanami's ships were damaged, for the sake of navigation safety, they folded up their hulls and took a patrol ship back to the nearest military port, waiting for the relevant countries to come and take over.

　During the few days that Laffey and Ayanami stayed in the naval base, they became the focus of the entire port. Many officers and soldiers who came to see them gathered around them from afar to watch and talk about them.

　One of the soldiers said to his comrade next to him while inspecting the helicopter, "Hey, old man, let me tell you, that white-haired girl yesterday actually drank two bottles of red wine in one breath. God, are all these female soldiers on the ship so drunk? I swear you can't imagine how exaggerated the scene was at that time."

　The comrade next to him, taking notes, replied, "Oh, George, I bet you've never played Azur Lane, have you? Our lovely Miss Lafite can drink like that, no need to be surprised."

　The appearance of Ayanami and Raffi also made the Raffi fans and Ayanami fans among domestic Kanb players excited, and the comment section of Raffi and Ayanami's characters in the game kept up with current affairs.

　The discussions about Ayanami and Laffey in the forum are basically all about expressing regret for the killing of each other when they first met, and hoping that they can remember history, let go of the past, establish friendship, and so on.

　The calls for "gathering the four royal families" in the players' social circles are also climaxing one after another.

　"Hey, wake up! The Javelin has been dismantled!" There are also many researchers in the forum who are pouring cold water on the facts.

　"So what if it's dismantled? Such unscientific things as the ship girls appearing in reality have happened, so why can't they be dismantled?" The true love party played fearlessly, exchanging sharp words and tit-for-tat.

　As the first American warship to become a KanColle, Laffey was warmly welcomed by military fans and KanB international server players when she returned to the United States.

　When Ayanami returned to Japan, she was also warmly welcomed by Japanese KanColles and KanB Japanese server players.

　对绫

　After Bo's welcome party ended, Xiang specially found Ayanami. In addition to caring about her injuries, he also chatted with her about some things.

　Hibiki placed his arm around Ayanami's shoulders and asked, "Ayanami-chan! Do you like fighting?"

　"I don't hate fighting, nor do I enjoy it. It's just a normal fight... Now, it's meaningless. I just realized that Japan has already lost..." Ayanami replied calmly, expressionless. "Actually, sometimes I don't quite understand the purpose of fighting, or even this war. Most of the time, I just don't want to see my friends get hurt... that's all."

　"Hey, Ayanami-chan~" Hibiki said to her angrily. "I have some interesting history books here. Would you like to learn more about them? If you fully understand them, you will re-evaluate yourself and everyone else."

　(Xiang's comrade is ready +1)

　Chapter 33 Scientific Research and Joint Letters

　Since the appearance of Laffey and Ayanami, ships around the Solomon Sea and the Philippine Sea have been resurrected as ship girls one after another, and then recognized and led by various countries.

　Now, major countries in the world have set up special scientific research teams to conduct research on ship girls.

　The current consensus reached by relevant scientific research teams around the world is that the pattern of the appearance of ship girls is roughly radial spread from the center to the surrounding areas.

　However, it is worth mentioning that before the existence of KanColle appeared in reality, there were a large number of official and fan works covering a wide range of fields such as film and television, games, animation and novels, and the current KanColle are closely related to these in all aspects.

　Therefore, a seemingly comical situation has emerged: when relevant scientific research teams conduct research, they often compare the settings of the anime and novels related to KanColle. When formulating communication strategies for newly appeared KanColle, they also look up the relevant character settings for reference in advance.

　So, when studying whether dismantled ships could be resurrected as shipgirls, and how to become such, researchers didn't look at those inscrutable, professional charts, nor did they touch the various high-end equipment that would amaze laymen. Instead, they first opened the novel platform, searched for the "Kanmusume" tag, and read related novels...

　Based on the descriptions in the fan works of KanColle, researchers have listed all the methods of KanColle that can be achieved with the current level of technology, including some methods that seem to be idealistic and metaphysical.

　Some scientific research teams in Western countries even went to churches to perform rituals for this purpose (sounds like FGO).

　Among these plans, "restoring the original body + original ship relics" is the closest to materialism, and it has been recognized by atheist countries such as China.

　The first test may involve risks. Taking this into consideration, we need to reduce the cost as much as possible when conducting the test. Therefore, we cannot choose a large ship for the experiment, but only a small ship.

　So which boat is better?

　Researcher A suggested, "How about the Yixian? She's the smallest, less than 100 meters."

　"Yixian? She was dismantled on the Treasure Island on the other side of the strait, and it's hard to get the ship's relics. I think Chongqing is a better choice." Researcher B rejected A's suggestion.

　Researcher C said, "Is Fushun better? Chongqing is a serious light cruiser. As a destroyer, Fushun is smaller than Chongqing, so it should be more suitable."

　"No, in terms of the relics of the original ship, Chongqing is more realistic. Because there are many relics in Chongqing and their locations are clear, while few people know about the relics in Fushun, at least we don't know." Researcher D, who was sitting opposite C, raised an objection.

　Researcher A said with some concern, "But... Chongqing was originally a British ship. We don't have any blueprints for it. How can we build it?"

　"How many years has it been? A WWII light cruiser is not a national treasure. Even in the past British Navy, it was used as a screen guard and did odd jobs. You can just look for the blueprints online. Nowadays, even the blueprints of the USS Lexington can be found online, let alone a light cruiser..." Researcher D folded his hands in front of his chest and explained his views.

　After discussion, the majority decided to use Chongqing as the experimental subject.

　The research team then compiled the discussion process and results into a report and submitted it to their superiors, who approved it.

　Of course, science is no joke. The superiors did not agree to let the research team look for the drawings online, but instead planned to reach a deal with the British side to find them.

　The rabbit knocked on the door of John Bull's house. A blond John Bull popped his head out and asked the rabbit, "Rabbit, I'm very busy now. What do you want to do?"

　"Dear, there is an old saying among us flower growers, 'One never comes to visit a temple without a reason.' This time, we want to ask you for the blueprints of the Aurora light cruiser." The visiting rabbit came straight to the point without any hesitation.

　Blond John Bull wondered if there was something wrong with his ears and asked Rabbit, "What? What do you need the blueprints for a WWII light cruiser for? Your navy doesn't need this antique anymore, does it?"

　John Bull suddenly remembered the recent news about Counterattack, Prince of Wales, and other shipgirls on his way home, and immediately changed the subject: "Are you guys doing research on shipgirls? Not for sale!"

　After saying this, John Bull was about to close the door.

　"Hey, hey, hey, sir, don't be anxious. We can talk it over." The rabbit grabbed the door handle and continued. "We never take advantage of others in business. We don't want to suffer any loss ourselves, and we can't let others suffer any loss, right?"

　The rabbit took out a list from his back and said to John Bull: "I heard that your family

　The epidemic here has been going on for a long time. We are willing to provide you with some medical supplies that will help treat the disease. What do you think? If you agree, just sign it.

　The rabbit's ears wiggled and its eyes sparkled as it looked at John Bull.

　John Bull looked at the list the rabbit had given him and was stunned.

　There are almost enough masks for every member of his family, 30% of which are medical N95s, hundreds of thousands of ventilators, vaccines, protective suits, and other basic medical supplies.

　Seeing such a great gift, John Bull took out a pen without a second thought and said, "Sign, I'll sign! I'll find the drawings for you right away!" Then he immediately went back home and rummaged through the drawers to look for the drawings.

　After John Bull entered, Rabbit turned around and secretly complained, "Ah, it seems that if the amount of aid is multiplied several times, he might even be willing to give us an Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier..."

　"Things change..." Rabbit sighed as he sat on the supply card containing the samples, unscrewed the cap of the thermos bottle and sipped the Pu'er tea.

　In this way, Rabbit successfully obtained the original drawings of Chongqing, and the Jiangnan Shipyard began to restore it.

　————————————————————

　A user with the account name "浅井猴猴_Saru" on Bilibili prepared to play a game after finishing today's draft.

　At this time, a notification popped up on her mobile phone saying that she had a new express delivery, and then she went downstairs to pick it up.

　After entering the password, the express lockers will open automatically, revealing a piece of mail.

　Asai Houhou took the mail out, looked at it from left to right, and said puzzledly, "The outline of this mail looks like a letter, and it's international mail... Except for something very solemn and formal, who still uses such a traditional way of communication these days?"

　She brought the mail home, placed it on the coffee table, cut open the package with a paper cutter, and took out the envelope.

　The style of this envelope is exquisite and retro, with a European style, and its iconic dark red sealing wax is very eye-catching.

　There were a few crooked, seemingly drawn Chinese characters on the blank space of the envelope—"Dear Miss Monkey Mom"

　Seeing this, Monkey Mom couldn't help but think about it.

　"Could this be something a fan from abroad sent me? It has a rather retro, ceremonial feel. By the way, how do you open a wax-sealed letter like this?"

　Monkey Mom searched the Internet for a method to unseal a letter sealed in this way, then imitated how to heat the sealing wax to soften it, and then opened the envelope to take out the letter.

　The envelope contained two folded letters, which Monkey Mom unfolded. The two letters were written in Italian and English respectively, and judging from the handwriting, it was obvious that the two letters were not written by the same person.

　Especially this letter written in Italian, the handwriting is neat and beautiful, and it looks like it was written by the upper class.

　Putting the tip of your nose in front of the letter, you can smell a faint fragrance lingering on it.
