Give Zongman some collapse shock

"What are you worried about, fellow Minato? Are you still unable to let go of your hatred for the Sirens?"

"The Sirens are enemies. I have no hatred towards them, I just have a hostile stance, that's all."

Bismarck paused, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "But there is one thing the Commander must know. If you want to awaken the other sleeping ship girls, perhaps... it can only be done in this world."

It's just a simple intuition, without any basis.

However, Bismarck, and even all the ship girls, were extremely confident about this matter.

They were born in this world and can only be born in this world.

"Is that so? That's fine, not a big problem. Move the port area... no, if the other shipgirls disagree, let's call it a base. Move the base to the inland river area. Even if the Sirens can enter that kind of place, as long as the defense system is properly deployed, we can completely resist the Sirens' invasion."

Jiang Chen thought about it and directly took out the spacecraft design drawings and some weapons information.

"These are the directions for your future transformation. You can take a look at them first."

Not to mention the spacecraft.

The weapon system is the key to directly improving firepower.

Unfortunately, although the pre-Houkai civilization possessed weapons technology such as railguns, its technology tree was entirely focused on countering the Houkai, and its only representative weapon was the Moonlight Throne.

Weapons that convert Honkai energy into other energies cannot be used as firepower enhancements.

In this regard, conventional missiles can only be used as a substitute.

"That's enough! This firepower, combined with the commander's enhancements to the ship girls, is enough for us to counterattack the Siren!"

Bismarck held on to the blueprints and treated them as treasures.

"..."

I really want to remind you that I'm not planning to treat the Sirens as enemies in the short term. Seeing the enthusiasm in Bismarck's eyes, Jiang Chen didn't say it.

Then, the two exchanged some more things.

Most of the talking was done by Bismarck, who informed the ship girls of the ideas they had discussed before, as well as the bottom line.

I have to say, the requirements of the ship girls are really not high.

They were kindhearted by nature and didn't play tricks like human politicians. Their goal was clear: to test Jiang Chen's ability to be a commander. If he was qualified, they would find a way to keep him in the port.

Because Dafeng did not reveal the real information, they had no idea about the other world.

No one expected that a simple meeting would turn out like this. Not only could they obtain resources and technical assistance, but Jiang Chen even provided them with a safe escape route.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them walked out of the reception room together.

Bismarck blushed, lowered the brim of his hat, and went directly to persuade the other ship girls.

Jiang Chen was planning to take a walk around the port area, as he was very interested in it.

As soon as I came out of the building, I saw Belfast, the head royal maid, waiting there.

A beautiful girl wearing a maid outfit and with long silver hair.

"Good afternoon, Lord Jiang Chen. You've worked hard in the meeting. I've prepared a sumptuous lunch for you. Please follow me."

Belface bowed his head slightly and performed a standard curtsy.

As a maid, she is elegant and has a noble temperament.

His behavior is neat and clean, giving people a sense of calmness and ease no matter what he faces.

"Thank you, Belfast. But no, I don't need to eat for energy."

Jiang Chen quickly declined.

After tasting the royal cuisine last night, he suddenly realized that appetite was not a necessary thing.

I heard that the head maid prepared it herself.

To be honest, it’s not that bad. I can only say that the upper limit of royal cuisine is there, and no matter how good the cooking skills are, it’s just that.

Belfast smiled politely, as if he saw through Jiang Chen's thoughts. He didn't dwell on the issue and tactfully retreated half a step behind Jiang Chen.

"Would you like to know your itinerary today? I'm confident I can provide you with 100% service. Please feel free to tell me if you need anything. Belfast will definitely live up to your expectations."

"Belfast, like a real maid."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Compared to those elf fanatics born from the Holy Spring and disguised as maids, Belfast is obviously more responsible and reassuring.

"I am the real maid."

The head maid's eyes were blazing.

It seems to be telling you: If you want, you can treat the guests like you would serve your master, instead of treating them like you are doing now.

The intention was conveyed silently, and the maid maintained her dignity without causing any trouble to the guests.

Jiang Chen wanted to say something like, "Having a maid like Belfast would be a blessing." But considering that the entire port area would make a judgment next, plus...

"Dafeng, you don't have to hide somewhere to peek."

Under the gaze of Dafeng, who was filled with resentment, he seemed to have no room to express his attitude.

Chapter 93: Azure Mysticism.

Seeing Dafeng, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

Although the other shipgirls were nice, they felt an inexplicable distance from Jiang Chen... perhaps out of politeness or something. Taiho, the overly enthusiastic little girl, was the shipgirl he felt closest to in the port area. When visiting the port area, Taiho was naturally the first choice.

"Dafeng, stop hiding and peeking. Come here."

"Commander..."

The girl immediately smiled in surprise.

She took two eager steps, then paused the next second, her smile disappearing. Glancing at Jiang Chen with a complex expression of guilt, self-blame, and reluctance, Dafeng nodded indifferently, turned, and walked in the other direction as if nothing had happened.

"What's going on here?"

Jiang Chen was completely confused.

He didn't know that Dafeng was in tears at this moment, biting her handkerchief with regret and resentment.

"Wuwuwu~ Commander, I'm sorry. Taifeng has her own reasons. When it's just us at night, Taifeng will definitely make it up to you (herself)!"

Dafeng burst into tears.

Jiang Chen's cold, soldier-like personality had helped him fend off many romantic interests without his knowledge. This perfectly matched Taiho's expectations. All she had to do next was to dispel the pests around the commander while demonstrating her closeness to him, thus solidifying her position and allowing her to legitimately stop those malicious shipgirls.

Of course, during this process, Dafeng had no intention of putting herself in a difficult position.

but……

Taihou left, and a ship girl soon followed behind.

Black hair, red eyes, trembling fox ears, nine swaying furry tails. Holding a red oil-paper umbrella, her beautiful face smiled softly. As she passed by, she looked at Jiang Chen with eyes filled with crazy possessiveness.

"I didn't expect to meet you. It was a chance encounter, Commander. I'm Akagi, the commander of the First Fleet of the Sakura Empire. I hope you will be able to guide me in the future."

"It's too early to call me Commander now... Never mind. It's nice to meet you, Akagi. Please give me your guidance."

Jiang Chen silently took a half step back.

It was as if being stared at by a terrifying beast.

I seem to have seen a similar look somewhere before... Yes! Many times when Mei brought food and drinks, she had this look, the kind that made her want to eat him up!

"It's not too early. I trust my own judgment."

Chicheng smiled softly and bowed slightly: "Well, I'm sorry."

After saying that, Akagi walked in the direction where Daiho left.

Jiang Chen thought about it and felt that there was a deeper meaning in Chicheng's words, and that their meeting was not a coincidence.

"Master Jiang Chen?"

"Ah, Belfast, I'm sorry I overlooked you just now."

"That's not the case, Master... While guests are socializing, waiting quietly on the side is a basic maid's duty."

Belfast smiled appropriately.

Is there really no need for a maid like this?

"I see. I was stupid before, Belfast. You are the perfect maid. It's always so comfortable to be with you. Then, can I invite you to take me on a tour of the port area?"

"Of course, it's an honor."

The two walked side by side on the road in the port area.

Despite being close to the coastal port, all facilities maintain a consistent simple style while maintaining basic performance.

However, the area inside the harbor where the shipgirls rested and lived was quite ornate. There were Chinese-style attics, small bridges and flowing water. There were also simple Japanese-style courtyards, European-style natural and luxurious buildings, and some buildings with religious elements.

"Currently, within the port area, not counting Bri, there are nineteen shipgirls. They are divided into six major factions: the Sakura Empire, the Royal Navy, the Iron Blood, the White Eagles, the Eastern Glory, and the Free Iris. The Sakura Empire has the most, with eight shipgirls. The next largest number is our Royal Navy, with four."

The number of people is pitifully small.

No wonder it is stronger than Siren in single attack, but is chased all over the world.

Noticing Jiang Chen's slightly sympathetic gaze, Belfast pursed his lips and continued his introduction as usual.

"Enterprise was the first shipgirl to awaken from her slumber. She sought us out from around the world. It took a long time for the port to grow to its current size. We still have some vague memories of her life before her birth and her service. So one thing is certain: this is the first Mind Cube to appear in the world. Its origins are unknown. It's not Siren technology, nor is it human technology."

"Is it really okay to tell me this? The Mind Cube is the key to the birth of the Ship Girl. It's very important to you, right?"

Jiang Chen looked surprised.

"It is very important, but it is not a secret. I believe that Master Jiang Chen will not do anything detrimental to the port area. Telling Master Jiang Chen this is the decision of all the ship girls."

Belfast smiled.

"Trusting others too easily can lead to betrayal."

"Will Lord Jiang Chen betray us?"

"will not."

"That's what we believe too."

Belfast winked playfully. "And there are only three shipgirls born from the original Mind Cube. The others, including me, were all awakened using Mind Cubes made in the port area."

In other words, KanColle also has the confidence.

He possesses the technology to create the Mind Cube. As long as the seed remains, the port area will not be destroyed.

However, it seems that the Mind Cube has some limitations, otherwise there would not be only nineteen ship girls in the port area.

Jiang Chen thought so and asked the same question.

The head maid sighed in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to tell Master Jiang Chen, it's just... we don't understand it ourselves. Many Rubik's Cubes have been created. Who knows one day it might become a new ship girl, or maybe the Rubik's Cube will always be just a Rubik's Cube. Whether or not to awaken the dormant ship girl depends on probability and good luck. Most of the Rubik's Cubes will become Brie. They are powerful, but they can't fight like us."

"Brie?"

Jiang Chen looked at the few small ship girls that popped their heads out from the corner. There were three types of them, with identical faces, giving people a silly feeling.

When they glanced over, the Bries shrank their heads in fear, but after a while they couldn't help but stick their heads out out of curiosity.

"Don't underestimate them. The Bries are very capable. They built the entire port area, and they also processed the ammunition, weapons, and mind cubes. Aside from some complex tasks that require human supervision, they have no weaknesses."

The head maid was very proud when she said this.

"intelligent?"

"Wow~ Well, maybe they have other shortcomings."

The head maid was defeated.

At this time, Belfast brought Jiang Chen to a pure white building.

"This is the research lab, one of the areas that was sealed off yesterday. Brie is in charge of the arsenal and repair shop. Their working methods are very... peculiar. I won't be showing Master Jiang Chen around this time."

Belfast couldn't understand or explain the Bries' amazing ability to create all kinds of things with wrenches, drills, and hammers.

I believe that anyone who goes to an arsenal or repair shop will question life when he comes out.

Compared to the magical Burri, the equally magical Akashi Laboratory can use densely packed formulas to shape the three perspectives of all visitors into even more unknown forms.
