It is Kokang and Changchun

　The reason Aurora gave the navy a large budget was to modernize the navy and build up the power of shipgirls. Even the construction of the shipgirl power was not "to cultivate the power of shipgirls" as the saying goes, but was truly for the country.

　The value of shipgirls was fully demonstrated in the Russian Civil War, the American-Shenzhen War, and the Japanese Civil War. Furthermore, as a shipgirl herself, Aurora was naturally more aware of the role her kind played in the nation, which was why she significantly increased the navy's budget.

　Some people insist on judging others by their own standards, making irresponsible comments about this and that, but what can we do about it? As long as they are happy, that's all that matters.

　It was only because the scale of the US-Shenzhen War was too large (millions of people fighting each other), coupled with the fact that there were fewer American ship girls and the enemy was in the deep sea, that the role of the ship girls in the entire war was somewhat insignificant.

　Take the Second All-Russian Red and White Song Festival not long ago for example. In this kind of war involving hundreds of thousands of troops, the active participation of the ship girls led to relatively significant changes in the overall war situation.

　Or let’s look at Japan. The impact of the investment of ship girls on the changes in the war situation is extremely obvious.

　The reason why the Japanese Communist Party took a year to enter Tokyo was because the Liberal Democratic Party and the Self-Defense Forces only needed to keep raising taxes and conscripting men to exploit the people, while the Japanese Communist Party had to consider a lot more in order to protect the safety of people's lives and property, and to keep productivity and infrastructure relatively intact.

　Now, the Navy is using the extra budget to refurbish the old ships' electrical systems and armaments, while also replicating the old ships' shipgirls.

　When investigating and punishing oligarchs in 2023, the Soviet government confiscated their private yachts. Among these confiscated yachts, one had a displacement of over 10,000 tons, and its extravagance was clearly visible.

　These yachts were later sold to private shipping companies for normal cruise operations, and the proceeds from the sale of the yachts were added to the navy's budget.

　So, at the beginning of 2024, the navy, with some spare cash, decided to conduct an experiment. Since reality has proven that some shipgirls that were not previously in the game will appear, does this mean that replicas of real-life, destroyed shipgirls that never existed in the game may also appear?

　In order to verify this idea and ensure that the results would not be completely in vain, the Soviet Navy chose the fourth ship of the 1134-type missile cruiser, the Sevastopol, for the experiment.

　The reason for choosing this ship is that it has a historical name, the Gangut-class battleship Sevastopol. If the previously anticipated possibility is ruled out, there is still the possibility of a ship girl appearing as a replica of the famous ship, which can reduce the probability of losing everything.

　(For example, there is the CV-6 and CVN-80 companies in the novel; there is no CVN-80 company in the game, but there is a CV-6 company. So when CVN-80 transforms into a ship girl, it takes on the image and consciousness of the CV-6 company. This ship girl company has the memories of all generations of companies since CV-6.)

　So why not just go with the Gangut-class Sevastopol? That’s a good question.

　First, the Soviet Union's dry docks suitable for battleship construction were already full. Second, the Sevastopol was a 25000-ton battleship, and replicating it would be far more expensive and time-consuming than a multi-thousand-ton cruiser. Furthermore, unless it was attacked at close range, the cruiser's combat effectiveness was undoubtedly equivalent to that of many World War I dreadnoughts.

　Ultimately, it’s all about value for money.

　Therefore, the replication of the Sevastopol guided missile cruise ship was deployed at the beginning of 2024, officially started in early February 2024, and the hull construction was basically completed by late August 2024.

　Completing the hull construction isn't the most important thing; the key is whether the ship has been released. Let's congratulate the Soviet Red Navy; their argumentation and bet were right this time, and they've finally released the ship!

　On August 22, local time, a silver-white

　A red-eyed, silver-haired queen appeared in the dry dock built by the Sevastopol patrol with a realistic-style large ship outfit on her back.

　The workers on the scene were all ecstatic after seeing it, and then they had to report it to the higher-ups, send people and ship girls to receive it, and do other welcoming work.

　The Soviet-style ship girls that have been reproduced in the past basically have one thing in common. When they learned from the official side about the history of the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, as well as the Russian Federation period and the restoration of the new Soviet Union, their hearts felt like they were on a roller coaster.

　Sevastopol was a little different. When she learned about the collapse of the former Soviet Union, she did not feel surprised. Instead, her expression was relatively calm, and she just sighed deeply.

　Perhaps it was because Sevastopol was demolished in 1991, which was the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Anyone with a little bit of common sense knew that the Soviet Union was almost impossible to continue.

　"Fortunately, the Soviet Union is back," Sevastopol said, closing the historical materials and sighing, "Comrade Aurora is still at the core of the leadership. The future of the new Soviet Union is now assured!"

　Aurora's position in the hearts of Soviet warship girls is equivalent to Lenin's position in the Bolsheviks. If human leaders are also included, in the hearts of Soviet warship girls, Aurora is second only to Comrade Lenin.

　So objectively speaking, Aurora's role as the core leader of the Soviet Union is beneficial to the Party's leadership of the KanColle forces. Since it is beneficial to the Party's command of the gun, then what are some anti-KanColle idiots still complaining about?

　"The lost thirty years... is a very apt summary." Sevastopol was thinking about the recent "Historical Resolution" which summarized the thirty years of history since the fall of the red flag.

　Sevastopol Bol continued to take notes and complained, "Japan used to always talk about the lost thirty years. Compared with the former Soviet republics, can it really be called a lost period?

　Wasn't Japan's economic development nearly stagnant? In other areas, especially technology, hadn't it consistently kept pace with the mainstream? What kind of losses did it suffer? Compared to our economic recession and the massive exodus of technology and industry in the 90s, it's nothing.

　"Speaking of technology..." Sevastopol thought of his backward weapons and ship electrical equipment.

　However, she quickly turned her worries into joy. "Apart from anything else, we are still the world's top tier in cruise anti-ship missiles. The Military Commission previously said they would equip me with Zircon missiles. Tsk... just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

　"As long as I'm equipped with Zircon missiles, I'm the undisputed, legendary Sevastopol. No matter what ship comes, whether it's an American nuclear-powered Enterprise or a deep-sea Yamato, I only need one Zircon to make you retreat without a fight!"

　At this point, Sevastopol still didn't know the Enterprise's thoughts, so she considered the Enterprise an imaginary enemy. It was understandable, but...

　Meanwhile, the American South

　Enterprise, who was helping workers repair his ship in the dry dock, suddenly shuddered. "Strange, why does the keel feel a little cold? Could it be a hidden injury? No, I'll go check it out after I finish this..."

　……

　When Sevastopol first learned about the Zircon missile, she was shocked. What shocked her was not the range, but the flight speed and stealth performance of the Zircon missile.

　Although the Zircon missile has a long range of 1000 kilometers, the P-1000 Volcano, which was in service in the last century, can already hit 800 kilometers, so it is not enough to surprise Sevastopol, after all, it only has a 25% longer range.

　The situation is different when it comes to flight speed. The Zircon missile has a cruising speed of Mach 5 and a terminal penetration speed close to Mach 8, which is 100% to 200% higher than that of the P1000. This is a qualitative difference.

　At present, the Soviet Union and Russia have concluded, based on the analysis of the deep war between the United States and China, that the hypersonic anti-ship missiles are an inevitable trend. Ordinary supersonic anti-ship missiles are still insufficient in the face of deep-sea air defense capabilities.

　More importantly, ships in the deep sea sometimes choose to dive shallowly to avoid saturation attacks from anti-ship missiles, which is very stupid.

　Deep-sea diving takes time. Ordinary supersonic missiles find it difficult to detect incoming missiles in the deep sea and hit them before they completely dive, but hypersonic missiles can do that.

　In other words, even if deep-sea detection equipment detects a hypersonic missile, it is impossible to evade the missile by diving, because the deep sea cannot submerge most of the ship's hull in the extremely short time before the missile hits its face.

　Therefore, the Soviet Union is currently increasing its investment in experimental research and production equipment for the Zircon missile. The Central Military Commission of the Russian Communist Party believes that if the deep sea wants to plot against the Soviet Union, the Zircon missile will surely bring endless surprises to the deep sea!

　……

　Sevastopol was still learning, and then she found from the information a technology company called "Гкиоп" headquartered in the Far East.

　The company's technological products and its relationship with the Soviet government sparked great interest in Sevastopol. She planned to consult Aurora about the company's origins.

　Chapter 477: How is the Tactical Humanoid Progress?

　Aurora seemed quite excited when answering Sevastopol's questions, and she tried hard to introduce the company.

　"This company is a rising star in the Soviet Union's high-tech industry. They developed

　90nm lithography machine and began mass production of chips using this process.

　This year, less than two months after Japan's technical assistance in lithography machines began, they had already mastered the technology and produced the Soviet Union's first 40nm chip, which runs very stably without any problems and has now entered mass production.

　In other words, as long as the production increases, my country's military and general civilian chips will finally no longer be strangled. This is of great significance to the Soviet Red Army's information construction and national security.

　With their capabilities, it's only a matter of time before Intel, AMD, TSMC, and ASML are crushed underfoot. By then, the superiority of the socialist system will be even more clearly demonstrated."

　Aurora spoke so much excitedly that Sevastopol was shocked; but besides being shocked, she also felt a little regretful.

　"It's pretty good, but it's a pity why it's not a state-owned enterprise?" Sevastopol's regret reflects the communists' unique obsession with public enterprises.

　"Don't worry, they have a collective ownership system, and I have talked with the general manager of this company. She also has the idea of ​​handing the company over to the state after it becomes strong. The specific arrangements will be made by the state." Aurora explained.

　Sevastopol was still surprised. "Even so, I personally still find it a little incredible that such a technologically advanced company suddenly emerged in the Soviet Union."

　Aurora smiled and said, "Don't worry, the KGB has already investigated it and there's nothing wrong. Besides, why couldn't the Soviet Union have such an enterprise?"

　You see, in the 50s, we had two super geniuses in the field of computers - Comrade Grushkov and Comrade Kitov.

　These two people had quite far-sighted foresight, even predicting the emergence of electronic payments and the demise of paper money. Keep in mind that they were people who lived more than 70 years ago.

　If you told ordinary people twenty years ago that paper money would disappear and electronic payments would rise, they would probably just think you were a fool, not to mention 60 or 70 years ago.

　Since history has seen giants that were ahead of their time, why can't another company stand at the forefront of its time? The same goes for Gikop. Don't be too surprised; this is history, after all."

　Upon hearing this, Sevastopol immediately felt that this kind of history was relatively sound, and he could not help but conclude with emotion: "Indeed, we still have many talented people, but the previous system could not efficiently transform talents into scientific research results.

　Now that the 'lost three decades of capitalism' have ended and the socialist system has been restored, the production relations that hindered the development of productivity have been cleared. It's no surprise, then, that such rapidly emerging companies and related scientific and technological achievements have emerged.

　Aurora was quite satisfied with Sevastopol's summary and commented, "Hmm, very well said. It seems your visit to the Moscow State Library was well worth it."

　"Comrade Aurora, you are too kind. I am afraid that I have not read enough books compared to other comrades. At least I feel that I am still far from your goal." Sevastopol said modestly.

　What Sevastopol refers to as "Aurora's goal" refers to the learning level requirements that Aurora has for all ship girls.

　The hard power of the ship girls is extremely strong, but such hard power must be matched with corresponding soft power, that is, the level of ideological and political awareness. If this issue is not taken seriously, it is easy to cause big problems when encountering major historical tests in the future.

　Therefore, Aurora has always emphasized within the shipgirls that all shipgirls should learn more about Marxism while ensuring that their professional work is completed well. And they should not only read textbooks and general introductions, but also read the original works.

　……

　Just as Aurora and Sevastopol were discussing the Gikop company, in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in the Far East, Eve walked into her laboratory.

　Above the laboratory door, there was a sign that read "Gkiope." Apparently, the "Gkiope Company" Aurora and Sevastopol were discussing was actually the "GKIOP Company" Eve had founded to develop humanoids.

　However, in order to further conceal her identity, Eve converted the Latin name "GKIOP" into the Cyrillic name "Гкиоп" before founding the company.

　After Eve walked into the lab, she looked at the equipment and experimental materials scattered across the floor and sighed, "It'll take some time to miniaturize a mature quantum computer. Let's continue working on the battery first."

　In the first half of this year, Eve made a hydrogen fuel cell energy supply system, but after much thought, she felt that hydrogen fuel cells would not be accepted by humans, so she continued to develop the rechargeable battery technology tree.

　Eve believes that the reason why humans cannot accept it is probably not its safety, but the high cost of replacing the various systems surrounding it in order to adapt to hydrogen fuel cells.

　Tactical humanoids will be mass-produced in the future to counter deep-sea combat puppets and deep-sea vanguards. If we want to meet such production targets, the existing industrial energy system of mankind cannot meet the demand without a major transformation.

　However, this does not mean that she has given up on hydrogen fuel cells; Eve continues to develop rechargeable batteries so that when they are handed over to humans in the future, humans will have more choices. All eggs cannot be put in one basket.

　In the process of continuous research and development, Eve had to admit that one of the

　These things are indeed quite black box. Even if she advanced the current level of human simulation robot technology by 30 or 40 years, she would still not be able to restore some of the things in the game.

　Because a considerable portion of the humanoid technology in Girls' Frontline is the product of humanity's absorption of relic technology (i.e., collapse technology). This is something that humans in the current technological tree of the real plane cannot possibly develop in the near future.

　Take, for example, a certain Italian character called "Fat Shot" (Spas-12 from Girls' Frontline 1 or Sabrina from Girls' Frontline 2). In the official anime, Fat Shot possesses a humanoid character with high bursts of power. At full power, he can shatter a half-meter-thick concrete wall with a single punch or even send a car flying. This explosive power would make even a typical deep-sea scout tremble.

　If they were the Deep Sea Vanguards in the previous world, all equipped with shields, they would be fine against Fat Shot. But if they had no shields, a full-strength kick from Fat Shot would either kill them or leave them crippled.

　In addition, Fei Xian’s body has an active skin layer, excess energy is stored under the skin layer, and the food humans eat can be converted into energy for human use... Isn’t this a complete black box technology?

　Originally, Eve had not intended to restore the original image 100%. She just wanted to create a humanoid figure that could barely fight against ordinary deep-sea pioneers. Otherwise, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

　"The simplest thing is to continue working on lithium batteries..." Eve picked up a lithium battery, which was her latest research result.

　Although this lithium battery is only as big as two bricks, its maximum storage capacity is nearly one-fifth of the maximum storage capacity of the battery of the "BYD Han" new energy vehicle.

　Eve believes that the lithium battery in her hand should be the technology that humans can digest the fastest after it is given to them, but she is obviously not satisfied with this.

　Eve put down the lithium battery and grabbed another one. "But no matter what, graphene batteries are the future of rechargeable batteries."

　Graphene batteries are still a distant prospect. Many electric vehicle advertisements use the word "graphene," which, like the use of "quantum" and "nano," is a form of "IQ tax."

　However, China is in a leading position in the field of graphene, which means that China may be able to digest graphene battery technology faster than other countries.

　The hydrogen fuel cell that Eve had installed on Lightning (OTs-14) was replaced last month with a new lithium battery, which was the one Eve picked up first.

　Now, Eve plans to replace Lightning's battery with the newly developed graphene battery and let her test whether there is any problem with the battery.

　At this time, Lightning was wearing the costume from Girls' Frontline 1, and was wandering around a comic exhibition in Vladivostok accompanied by White-haired Dumpling.

　During this period, some 2D characters, seeing Lightning and White-haired Dumpling, came up to ask for stamps or contact information, but Lightning and White-haired Dumpling politely declined.

　After leaving the crowd, Lightning and her group arrived at an open space. She turned to the white-haired girl and asked, "Looking at these people, I feel like they know me. But based on the data in the mind cloud map, Girls' Frontline's popularity shouldn't be high enough for this comic convention to have enough Girls' Frontline fans."

　"The people who come to see you are not necessarily Girls' Frontline players. Some people just think that your equipment is of high quality or looks pretty good. Of course, my role may also be a factor." The accompanying white-haired ball checked the AN94 (bb bullet) in his hand and replied.

　Just like the model of the gun in the white-haired girl's hand, the character she cosplays is AN94 from Girls' Frontline. Anyway, all the members of the rebellious team have white hair, so appearing as members of the rebellious team saves the trouble of doing her hair.

　"Hmm?" Lightning looked around at the endless stream of people. She seemed to have noticed something. "There seems to be an adult male staring at me in the distance."

　The camera switches, and on the other side of the view, the man notices Lightning's gaze coming towards him, and immediately looks away, pretending nothing happened.

　Many otakus don’t dare to look beautiful girls in the eye. Although this is not a good mentality, it is understandable.

　The man looked away, still amazed at the faithful reproduction of the Lightning cosplay: "Oh my god, this is the most faithful reproduction of OTs-14 I've ever seen."

　Suddenly, he remembered a good friend from his college days. After escaping from the white zone during the civil war, he suddenly became interested in the IP of Girls' Frontline. He kept pestering him with questions, all of which were about tactical dolls.

　He not only complained, "That Matvey guy is crazy. I don't know what he encountered in the White Zone. After escaping, he insisted that the country might be conducting research on highly intelligent simulation robots. No matter how much you play Girls' Frontline, you can't get so much into your head..."

　I play Girls' Frontline myself, so I have a pretty good idea of ​​the Soviet Union's current technological level. How is this possible... Could this OTs-14 be a test subject, deliberately brought to the comic convention for a stroll?"

　Thinking of this, the man laughed helplessly, then spread his hands and walked away. "By the time this technology comes out, my hair will probably be completely white... To be honest, I really want a Bobosha as my wife."

　Chapter 478: Humorous American Recruitment Film

　Eve dared to let Lightning appear at the comic convention because she believed that Lightning's simulation was so realistic that it was indistinguishable from the real thing. Moreover, doing this at a comic convention would greatly avoid unnecessary suspicion.

　At least not from the appearance, movements, or vocalizations;

　Unless you talk to Lightning a few more times and find clues from its reactions and between the lines of its words, you can easily say "How can you tell that I am a human or a machine?"

　Here, we have to thank chatGPT and other similar AI programs, otherwise the degree of anthropomorphism of the electronic computer figure when speaking would be a very troublesome problem.

　After visiting the exhibition, Lightning and the white-haired ball that accompanied him quietly returned to the company after going through various twists and turns on the road. Then Lightning went to the secret laboratory to cooperate with Eve's various experiments.

　Now, in addition to the doll itself, Eve also has to consider the production process, the most important of which is to consider reducing costs and mass production, and the price must not be high.

　For ordinary humanoids like those used as soldiers, the cost should be kept within a few hundred thousand RMB. If possible, Eve would even like to compete with the lowest cost of the BYD Qin (over 5 RMB).

　After all, this was to accompany and supplement the human army on a large scale, so the price couldn't be too high. A cost of a few hundred thousand was the maximum. Any higher, and it would be unlikely to be deployed to squad-level units.
