Elder brother's garrison

“I see. I’ll need to thank Admiral Nia properly next time I see her.” Iowa nodded.

"Admiral, shall we put it here?" New Jersey looked around and asked Xiaobai.

"Okay, this is fine." Xiaobai nodded expectantly.

With a slender hand, New Jersey gently tossed the object onto the empty space in front of her. A flash of white light was followed by a heavy thud as a massive machine landed on the floor.

The machine is a seamless whole. Although its exterior is slightly damaged, it emits a warm white light from top to bottom. The buttons on the machine's outer shell and the inlets for transporting resources are almost identical to those of conventional construction devices.

“This is it, Admiral,” New Jersey said, turning to Shiro.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Little White exclaimed happily as it looked at the construction machine in front of it.

"Is it the kind the Admiral wants?" New Jersey asked, tilting his head.

"Yes, yes!" Xiaobai nodded repeatedly, her hands clasped tightly together, and she said to the ship girls with some emotion, "This is the super construction machine, that's right, it's exactly the same as the one I remember. The construction machines I saw that built Missouri, Iowa, and Wisconsin were exactly the same as this one!"

"What happened to those construction machines?" Montana asked, arms crossed.

“Uh… those construction machines all have a limited number of uses, and eventually they all break down or become scrapped…” Xiaobai was instantly discouraged. “… It seems that the best one was the one that built Iowa, but after building Iowa, that construction machine was on the verge of breaking down and could no longer be used. In order to make the most of it, I gave it to Lianlian for her to study.”

Is this construction machine still usable?

"Let me see..." Xiaobai reached out and touched the construction machine, examining it thoroughly. "Hmm... it seems alright... although it's certainly not in a perfect state, it should be able to complete at least one more construction."

“We’re really lucky. Shall we start building now?” Montana asked immediately.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Xiaobai nodded immediately, looking at the construction machine in front of her with some anticipation.

The materials needed to build the construction machine were conveniently available in Xiaobai's ship equipment space.

After moving the corresponding supplies out of the ship's equipment space, Montana controlled the robotic arm to sort and load the supplies into the construction machine in front of her. Then everyone watched as Xiaobai walked onto the control panel of the construction machine.

"Speaking of which, what kind of ship girls will be built this time?" Montana watched as Xiaobai walked onto the stage and started operating the equipment. As if suddenly remembering something, she turned around and asked the other Iowa-class ship girls.

“Who knows…” The Iowa-class ship girls shook their heads.

Based on previous experience, the ship girls built by the 100% construction machine are all Iowa-class ship girls. The four Iowa-class ship girls currently on site were all built in this way, so the next one should also be an Iowa-class ship girl.

Of course, there are some exceptions.

For example, only Missouri and Xiaobai knew that the 100% Construction Machine had also built North Carolina. However, the North Carolina project was a failed construction due to the 100% Construction Machine's insufficient resources. If it weren't for Xiaobai, the North Carolina project might have been abandoned and wouldn't count.

Therefore, it can be assumed that the 100% production machine will produce Iowa-class ship girls.

However, the Iowa-class ship girls were already at full strength at this time.

This construction machine can't possibly build another New Jersey, can it?

The ship girls looked thoughtfully at New Jersey beside them.

Chapter 3661 Little White's Initial Ship

While the ship girls are curious about which ship girl the super construction machine will build, Shiro isn't actually thinking about that question at all.

As Xiaobai stood before the Super Construction Machine, gazing at the familiar rows of bright, colorful light bulbs, the neatly arranged buttons and keyboard, and the gleaming metallic shell, feeling the spiritual energy emanating from within the Super Construction Machine, she had no time to think about anything else. She simply reached out and gently stroked the buttons on the control panel, her senses swirling within her.

Memories of the past flood back, vivid and clear.

Hey……

I can finally build ship girls again...

Xiaobai doesn't have an obsession with creating a specific ship girl, but she is very obsessed with the act of creating ship girls itself.

Just like how you crave something the more you lack it, Xiaobai, who is extremely unlucky, naturally longs for the day when he finally gets his desired item.

Xiao Bai immersed himself in the feel of the Super Construction Machine for a while, then took a deep breath and gently pressed the button on the Super Construction Machine.

Montana and the others have already helped Xiaobai invest the resources needed for construction.

Since there was no requirement for the type of ship girl to be built, Xiaobai simply entered a generic construction formula. It is said that the ship girls built by this generic construction formula are likely to be small ships such as destroyers and submarines. However, the success rate of construction is higher than that of construction formulas for large ships.

Don't ask a newbie why they should use the high-probability small boat construction formula on the super construction machine.

The question is simply a habit formed over many years of bad luck.

The next question is about the main focus: a sense of security in construction.

After entering the construction formula, Xiaobai took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and then pressed the start construction button in one go.

buzzing...

As Xiaobai pressed the build button, the entire super construction machine began to operate regularly.

The construction machine emitted the sounds of numerous gears meshing and the system operating. These sounds were perfectly coordinated, smooth and gentle, like a babbling brook flowing freely along a pebble beach.

"Hmm, as expected of a super construction machine, even the construction sounds are much softer," Montana commented from behind.

"Montana, have you ever seen ordinary construction?" Everyone turned to look at Montana.

“I have seen it.” Montana nodded, recalling the scene with a touch of melancholy on her face, and slowly said, “When I went to the Admiral’s Guild, I saw an Admiral building something on the second floor construction floor. As for the scene at the time… well… I can only say it was quite a cold and indifferent place.”

"Oh..." The other ship girls nodded silently.

Is such that.

Even if the admirals are usually dignified and elegant, they often take off their masks when they are building large-scale projects... As for taking off their masks... it doesn't mean that they reveal any bad intentions or anything like that. It mainly means that during large-scale projects, the admirals often do not hide their emotions or care about their status, and their emotions fluctuate intensely.

One thought can lead to heaven, another to hell.

For example, someone who was crying and screaming one second might be laughing uncontrollably the next second because they got a ship girl after construction. Some people would burn incense and kowtow to the construction machine before construction. Some people would be so angry at the construction machine that it wouldn't produce any ship girls that they would faint on the spot. Others would be people who had been stuck in construction for a long time and finally got a ship girl. The admiral would shout "Hey, I got one!" and run around the field. And some people would kneel on the ground and pound the ground with their fists while shouting in anguish, "Why didn't I get a single ship girl after 100 attempts? Damn it!" All of these things could happen at the same time in the construction floor, and they could even happen in front of two adjacent construction machines.

"When the admiral led us to the construction site, it was quite quiet there, with a lot of people around," Wisconsin said, arms crossed.

"That's because the admiral scared everyone away as soon as he arrived..." the other ship girls said with a laugh.

"Is that so?" Wisconsin tilted her head, looking puzzled.

At this moment, Xiaobai also stepped down from in front of the construction machine. She returned to the ship girls with a smile on her face, her expression full of satisfaction.

"As expected of the top-level construction machine, the buttons feel really good to press." Xiaobai stretched out his hands and rubbed the air in mid-air.

"I'm glad the Admiral likes it." The ship girls nodded in unison. "The Admiral's construction must have been a success, right?"

"It probably succeeded, right?" Xiaobai put down her hand, glanced back at the still-operating construction machine, and murmured softly, "If a 100% success rate construction machine can fail, then I'll never touch a construction machine again in my life..."

“No need for that…” The ship girls all smiled.

Just as everyone was chatting, a crisp "ding" sound suddenly came from inside the super construction machine.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone present immediately shut their mouths and turned their gazes toward it.

Xiao Bai, feeling a little uneasy, clutched his chest and looked at the construction machine's display screen.

All eyes turned to the construction machine's display screen, where a large symbol appeared. The symbol resembled a hook-shaped zigzag line, clear and bright.

"Huh? What does this mean?" Wisconsin couldn't understand and asked Xiaobai curiously.

"This symbol is runic script... it means 'ready'." Xiaobai looked at the screen, took a deep breath, and then a relieved smile appeared on her face. "Simply put, it means... construction was successful..."

"Oh oh oh!"

The ship girls applauded.

"Admiral, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Admiral!"

"Congratulations……"

All the ship girls offered their blessings to Shiro.

Theoretically speaking, this should be the first ship that our admiral has ever built entirely by himself, without relying on anyone else.

Thinking of this, the ship girls all looked at the construction machine and suddenly felt a little envious.

To be able to become the "initial ship" of an admiral, that's incredibly lucky.

"Thank you, thank you everyone." Xiaobai bowed to each of the ship girls with emotion. "I will remember this day. I will remember every single minute and second of this day clearly."

"Admiral, let us see which ship girl it is!" Wisconsin said immediately.

"The Super Construction Machine can also use the rapid construction device, right?" Montana asked.

“Hmm… Humanity’s current construction machines are derived from the super construction machines through reverse engineering, so whatever functions human construction machines have, super construction machines will generally also have…” Xiaobai nodded as he explained, while reaching into the ship’s equipment space, rummaging through it, and then pulling out several buckets of rapid construction devices.

Chapter 3662 Iowa Level! It's Iowa Level!

Xiaobai carried the rapid construction device and found the slot on the super construction machine for placing the device. She put the device in, then returned to the construction machine's operating platform and gently pressed a few buttons.

The super construction machine has started operating with great enthusiasm.

The rune text on the display screen that symbolized readiness transformed into an extremely long countdown. Under the influence of the rapid construction device, the countdown refreshed so quickly it was almost blurry, rapidly heading towards zero.

Xiaobai nodded as she listened to the voice coming from the super construction machine.

"This construction machine in New Jersey is probably the best preserved of the three I've worked with before," Xiaobai said to the ship girls. "It's still quite powerful when it's running."

"What type of ship girls did the Admiral build?" the ship girls asked.

"Hmm... a small boat," Xiaobai replied after thinking for a while.

"Huh? Why a small boat?" Wisconsin was taken aback.

"It's because I felt insecure... so, I subconsciously created a high-probability one." Xiaobai pointed her finger sheepishly and explained to the ship girls.

“Hmm… a small boat…” Wisconsin looked at the construction machine, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, “If it’s a small boat… is the countdown really that long?”

Wisconsin’s words hit a blind spot.

Everyone was taken aback and subconsciously looked at the screen.

The countdown on the screen was moving so fast that it was impossible to see how long it actually was, but it was clear that this number didn't resemble the construction time of a destroyer or submarine...

Xiaobai realized something and looked at the screen in surprise.

"Huh? Now that you mention it, it doesn't seem to be a small boat after all... The length of this countdown seems more like an aircraft carrier or a battleship..."

"Do we Iowa-class destroyers have aircraft carriers?" Wisconsin asked Iowa.

“Never heard of it,” Iowa smiled.

“That should be a battleship.” Wisconsin looked at the construction machine. “And Admiral… this is most likely our Iowa-class battleship.”

“…Hmm…” Xiaobai thought for a while and agreed that it made sense. She then looked at the four Iowa-class ship girls present and said nothing more.

Now that Xiaobai has finished building, her overheated mind has cooled down, and she's finally starting to think about who the ship girl she built belongs to.

The four Iowa-class ship girls in the newbie naval base were all originally created by the super construction machine...

Therefore, if the ship girl inside this construction machine is a battleship, then based on experience, it is indeed highly likely to be an Iowa-class ship girl.

Could it be... that I'm really going to create a second Missouri, or New Jersey?

As Xiaobai pondered, the countdown behind her finally reached zero, and the construction machine let out a hissing sound of releasing air.

"Admiral, it's a success!" Wisconsin's eyes lit up, and she immediately pointed to the construction machine.

Xiaobai turned to look at the construction machine.

The super construction machine is similar to the construction machines currently possessed by humans in most aspects, but there is one small difference.

That is, after the human construction machine is successfully completed and the countdown reaches zero, if the builder does not go up to open the construction machine's hatch, the ship girl inside the construction machine will remain in a semi-conscious state, waiting to be awakened. For example, there is an unlucky gunnery submarine in the newbie naval base that has been locked up like this for several years.

Compared to human-made construction machines, the super construction machine is much more human-like for ship girls.

After the Super Construction Machine is successfully built and completed, even if the builder does not press the button to open the hatch, the ship girls inside can open the hatch on their own.

Just like now.

Pfft—

Just as Xiaobai turned to look at the construction machine, the super construction machine emitted another long, drawn-out whirring sound. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the hatch opened, and a large amount of white steam rushed out, instantly filling the room.

It has almost no smell after washing, and the smell comes on quickly and goes away quickly.

After the moisture dissipated, everyone quickly looked at the open hatch.

The hatch, resembling a giant duck egg, was half-open. From the angle from which everyone was positioned, they could indeed vaguely see a tall ship girl leaning against a cushion-like device, lying in the dim darkness.

Air rushed into the hatch, and the ship girl inside seemed to take a light breath. Everyone could clearly see her full chest rise and fall slightly. Then she slowly reached out her hand, her slender hand covered by a black glove pressed against the two edges of the outer shell, and slowly pulled herself up from inside the hatch.

In the silence.

A long leg, somewhat perplexing and unclear whether it was wearing black stockings or over-the-knee boots, emerged from the middle and stepped onto the floor.

The ship girl inside the cabin got up and slowly walked out of the construction machine.
