Elder brother's garrison

Yubari said that this time she must thoroughly study the ship's equipment inside and out, top to bottom!

So, under everyone's gaze, Yubari pulled Anshan directly into the small dark room. A series of clanging and banging sounds came from inside the dark room, and soon, Anshan's screams rang out.

"Wait, wait a minute! Yubari, what are you doing?!"

"Anshan, don't be afraid, it'll only be a little while, hehehe..."

"Wait, this won't work, this really won't work... You... Oh no!!!"

"Hehehehehe, I saw it! I saw it! This is the entirety of the world's first missile ship girl!!!"

"..."

There was a commotion inside the small, dark room, making it hard for outsiders to imagine what was happening inside.

Outside the small, dark room, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

……

Despite some twists and turns, the modification factory finally finalized the modification plans for six ship girls: Alaska, Guam, Kiat, Garibaldi, Chicago, and Anshan, who was the main attraction.

That afternoon.

When Xiaobai finished compiling the list and plans for the modification of the six ship girls and handed them to Lexington, even Lexington showed a great deal of interest in the people on the modification plan list.

"A total of six ship girls have entered the preparation stage for missile modification, hmm... Anshan is one of them?" Lexington tapped her fingers lightly on the modification list, a faint smile on her face. "So... Anshan hasn't actually undergone modification yet, and she can still enter the modification stage... So all of this was done by Jinan?"

"Yes."

Little White nodded in front of Lexington.

"As expected of a special ship girl from Chapter 8, her abilities are truly formidable. She can find six such rare missile ship girls in a single day just by wandering around the naval base." Lexington put down the modification list and smiled at Xiaobai, saying, "Jan Bart was also the one who facilitated the modification, right? In that case, the overall strength of our naval base has really been boosted. Hmm, it seems we need to consider giving Jinan even better treatment."

“Indeed…” Xiaobai nodded. She thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke to Lexington, “Um… Lexington, so there’s something I want to say…”

"What is it?"

"This is a topic I discussed with Anshan before..." Xiaobai murmured, then said to Lexington, "The number of missile ship girls in our naval base is increasing. As you know, Lexington, missile ship girls fight differently than ordinary ship girls. Our training grounds make it difficult for them to unleash their full strength and advantages... So what I'm thinking is..."

"You're going to build a missile test range for the missile shipgirls?" Lexington asked with a smile.

"Hmm..." Xiaobai was taken aback. "How did you know about Lexington?"

"Sigh, Xiaobai, isn't your mind always written all over your face?" Lexington sighed and said.

"Ah..." Xiaobai scratched his head awkwardly and smiled sheepishly at Lexington, "Hehe... So, is the construction of the missile range... possible?"

“Hmm… a missile range is indeed a very important training ground…” Lexington nodded, initially agreeing with Xiaobai’s statement, but before Xiaobai could smile, she gave him a wry smile, “However… Xiaobai, do you know… how large a missile range needs to be…”

"Isn't our naval base big enough?"

“Even for a missile range used by ship girls, based on the performance of the current missile ship equipment, it would be at least several thousand square kilometers… Let me do a quick calculation, that’s equivalent to the size of tens of thousands of football fields put together.” Lexington said to Shiro, resting her chin on her hand. “Although our naval base is not small, it is still only in terms of human-level living conditions. As a base for a missile range, this space is simply not enough.”

"It has to be this big!"

“That’s what I mean, so there’s absolutely no way a missile range could be built inside the naval base.” Lexington nodded.

"Then, what should we do..." Xiaobai suddenly felt regretful and scratched her head.

"..." Lexington smiled as she looked at Little White, and then she said, "Ah... but then again, although a complete missile range can't accommodate it, it should be fine if it's just a launch area."

"Hmm?" Xiaobai suddenly looked up. "Is there another way?"

“Sigh, after all, we are ship girls. If it were a missile range used by a proper human army, there would be absolutely no room for negotiation. But ship girl equipment and human army's firearms are quite different.” Lexington said, supporting her hands. “As the only naval base in the world with a large number of missile ship girls, building a missile range is an achievement worth reporting to headquarters… Perhaps we can be more flexible in our thinking… For example, the missile range is divided into three areas, right, Xiaobai?”

"Launching area, flight path, impact zone?"

"Your knowledge base is quite solid," Lexington said with a smile. "The launch area, simply put, is the area that provides support and guidance for missile ship girls to launch missiles. These areas don't occupy a large area, but the accuracy needs to be very high, which our naval base can definitely do... As for the flight area... to put it more vividly, it's like the corridor between the missile's launch and its landing. This is the area that requires the largest area, and it also needs to be equipped with a large number of measurement ship girls and measurement aircraft carriers to confirm the missile's trajectory. As for the final impact area, it is the area where the missile finally hits. There will be a dedicated target there, as well as more measurement ship girls and measurement instruments... Considering this high-investment configuration, even for a novice naval base, building a complete firing range would not only involve the space itself, but also a much higher financial investment."

"Oh..." Little White listened blankly, "Then, what do we do..."

“So, we are ship girls... ship girls and human armies are ultimately different.” Lexington shook her head. “We can’t build a complete missile range, but we can build a launch area. As for the flight path and impact zone... we can simplify them according to the ship girl’s equipment requirements.”

As Lexington finished speaking, she smiled and pointed out the window.

"In front of our naval base lies an endless sea. It's a rare opportunity, so let's not waste it."

"Ah... so this ocean is the navigation area and the impact zone?" Xiaobai immediately understood what was going on, and she looked at Lexington.

“Yes, as long as we send some surveying ship girls out to sea and place targets at the endpoint, it can be considered a simple firing range… and sometimes, if some abyssal ships happen to appear at sea, they can even be used as free moving targets,” Lexington said. “If you think such a rudimentary firing range is acceptable, how about we set it up like this?”

“Ah! I think that’s a great idea!” Little White nodded immediately, cupping her hands in agreement and saying to Lexington, “Lexington! Let’s do it this way!”

“Well, I’ll contact the construction team right away. This time it’s going to be a big construction project. I don’t know if the construction team we worked with last time can get started right away…” Lexington said.

"I actually know some construction teams too," Xiaobai said.

"Hmm? You're familiar with Xiaobai too?"

"Well... I guess we're pretty familiar with this." Xiaobai thought for a moment, then called out towards the door, "Super Yamato!"

As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, the door was opened a little bit, and the head of the super-sized robot popped in from outside, bending down to look at Xiaobai and Lexington inside the room.

"Admiral, did you call me?" Chao Yamato asked.

"Um, Super Yamato, is it convenient for you to temporarily bring Xiao Hong and the others from the deep-sea city?" Xiao Bai asked.

"Huh? Me?" Chao Dahe pointed to himself.

"Yes...is that okay?" Xiaobai asked Chaoda sincerely.

"Hmm..." Chao Dahe lowered his head and touched his chest, thinking for a while with a slightly conflicted expression. "It's not too far from here to the second chapter... The teleportation cost isn't high, so it should take about a day to bring everything over."

“It will only take one day,” Xiaobai said, turning to Lexington.

"So... Xiaobai, the construction team you mentioned... refers to Xiaohong and her group?" Lexington asked.

“Yeah, they’re amazing!” Xiaobai gave Lexington a thumbs up. “Next time we can take you to see the Deep Sea City, Lexington. I heard from Super Yamato that it’s been built really well! They did it all!”

“This is an unexpected delight…” Lexington covered her mouth with her hand and thought for a while. Looking at Xiaobai’s confident expression, she felt relieved and then slowly smiled. “At first, when I saw that you insisted on raising those little reds, I thought it was just out of your collecting desires and hobbies. But now I see that you are actually quite farsighted… A construction team with the ability to build a city and mobilize it extremely quickly is not something that can be done casually.”

"Sigh... I never imagined they would turn out like this..."

Xiao Bai also remarked with considerable emotion.

Taihou and the others are probably the biggest gains Xiaobai has made in the past two years as an admiral...

Although Xiaobai initially did indeed have no particular thoughts, as Lexington said, and simply thought the deep-sea giants were cute and fun, this thought gradually transformed into a sense of responsibility similar to "being dutiful to one's pet," and then... slowly developed into subtle feelings.

Nowadays, the deep-sea giants can be considered part of Shiro's family.

The deep-sea phoenixes certainly did not disappoint Xiaobai's expectations. In the past two years, they have grown tremendously and rapidly. Whether in terms of combat power, infrastructure, or even the understanding of rune knowledge, they have brought Xiaobai surprise after surprise.

Perhaps this is the benefit of the deep-sea giants collectively sharing their spiritual power, being able to access the life database of the newbies, and practicing without limit in their infinitely resource-rich spiritual world, creating wonders, constructing various buildings, and freely consuming resources to accumulate experience...

Chapter 3797 Cardboard Box

After discussing the missile range construction plan with Lexington, Super Daiwa went to the square outside the Admiral's office building and activated the teleportation ability, starting to continuously transport Deep Sea Taihou from the deep-sea city thousands of miles away.

The figures of the Deep Sea Taihou were like red bees, continuously emerging from the deep-sea vortex of the Super Taiho. Soon, the circular plaza below the naval base office building was gradually occupied by the figures of the Deep Sea Taihou.

Perhaps due to the overwhelming number of Deep Sea Deans that suddenly appeared, a large number of Deep Sea Phoenixes did not wear Deep Sea Aura Shielding Devices. They gathered shoulder to shoulder in the square, exposed to the air. The strong Deep Sea Dean-level auras emanating from them intertwined, merged, and expanded and infected unscrupulously, almost turning the air in the square into a visible black. The sky also began to become gloomy and heavy for a moment.

Lexington stood by the office window, gently parting the curtains with her fingers to look at the view outside.

"This is truly... spectacular," Lexington murmured softly, her gaze never leaving the plaza, a slight smile on her face. "This is the first time I've ever seen so many Deepsea Deans gathered together. The Deepsea atmosphere downstairs is already at a carnival level."

"Uh...sorry, we're running out of materials for the deep-sea aura shielding devices at our base..." Little White scratched his head awkwardly behind Lexington. "Only about a dozen of the Taihou in the deep-sea city have been equipped with shielding devices, the rest will have to do as they are for now..."

"How many Deepsea Phoenixes are there in the Deepsea City?" Lexington asked Whitey as she lowered the curtains.

"Uh... about two or three thousand?" Xiaobai thought for a while before answering.

“Two or three thousand…” Lexington silently stroked her chin and said to Xiaobai, “Hmm… then let’s not have too many people come for now. Let’s call Super Yamato first. There are less than a hundred Abyssal Deans downstairs right now, and the Abyssal aura around us is almost turning our naval base into an Abyssal stronghold. I don’t even want to think about what it would be like if they all appeared together… Although our naval base doesn’t mind the presence of so much Abyssal aura, if the scene gets too big, it wouldn’t be good if we accidentally alerted the Admiral’s Headquarters or something.”

"Uh...that makes sense." Xiaobai scratched his head and nodded quickly. "Then I'll go call Super Yamato..."

“Well, while you were in Chapter 8, Sukhbaatar and Odin contributed a lot of ship equipment materials, which I sent to Akashi. I don’t know how many Deep Sea Aura Shielding Devices she has manufactured yet, but anyway, you can go and get them, Xiaobai.” Lexington said to Xiaobai. “Well… if there are enough, it would be best to ensure that all Deep Sea Taihou under construction have their own shielding devices to use.”

"Understood!" Xiaobai immediately replied to Lexington.

After receiving the "instructions" from Lexington, Xiaobai immediately went downstairs and came to the square below the office building.

As soon as Xiaobai arrived at the square, he saw the deep-sea giants standing quietly and crowded together, and the surrounding environment became oppressive and eerie due to the presence of a strong deep-sea aura.

To be fair, describing the square in front of us as having an atmosphere so strong it seems to reach the heavens is not an exaggeration at all.

The ship girls at the novice naval base didn't really care about the occasional small-scale abyssal aura reactions, since everyone knew that their admiral's biggest hobby was capturing and raising abyssal deities. However, the abyssal aura so strong in the plaza that it almost changed the environment clearly caught the attention of the novice naval base ship girls. In the short time that Shiro had been in the plaza, a large number of ship girls had already begun to gather at the edge of the plaza.

Xiaobai scratched his head and found Super Dahe using the teleportation vortex in the center of the square.

Standing before the teleportation vortex, which was taller than a person, she reached into it like she was catching a rabbit, pulling out a giant deep-sea phoenix every so often with practiced and rhythmic movements.

Xiao Bai walked towards the giant in the square.

The deep-sea giants standing in the square silently looked at Xiaobai, with hundreds of gazes following Xiaobai's movements.

"Admiral?" When Chao Yamato saw Shiro walking over, she stopped what she was doing.

"Super Yamato, stop for a moment." Xiaobai said to Super Yamato with a smile, "Xiaohong and the others' auras are too strong, directly exposed to the air. If their numbers increase, our naval base won't be able to keep it a secret. Let's go to Akashi first and get some deep-sea aura shielding devices."

“Akashi… Oh, okay.”

Upon hearing this, Chao Da immediately pulled his hand out of the teleportation vortex and closed it.

Only then did Chaoda begin to observe its surroundings.

Seeing that the surrounding environment had become eerie and terrifying at some point, with large amounts of deep-sea air currents rising and falling with a howling sound, and the pale blue sky above resembling a scene of gloomy thunder and lightning, Super Big nodded slightly and blinked.

Super Big He is sometimes rather slow to react. This isn't about her physical strength or motor skills, but rather her ability to process information. For example, if Little White hadn't reminded her, Super Big He might have pulled out hundreds more Deep Sea Taihou without noticing how much the surrounding environment had changed. After all, she is essentially a Deep Sea Dean. What might seem eerie and cold to humans is like returning to a warm homeland for the Deep Sea Dean's bloodline and body, making her feel incredibly comfortable.

"Admiral, what should we do with these Abyssal Taihou?" Super Daiwa asked Shiro. "Should we send them back first?"

"Let's wait here for now." Xiaobai shook her head, waved to one of the deep-sea Taihou next to her, and then said to her, "You guys wait here for me and Mega Yamato to come back, don't go anywhere."

The deep-sea phoenix immediately nodded to Xiaobai.

Telling one deep-sea giant is equivalent to telling all deep-sea giants.

Only then did Xiaobai feel relieved enough to take Chaoda and temporarily leave the square, strolling towards the direction of Mingshi Convenience Store.

On their way to Akashi Shiro, Shiro and Super Yamato saw a large number of ship girls from the newbie naval base. They were gradually attracted by the "spectacular scene" at the admiral's office and rushed over to watch the drama unfold. When they saw Shiro, they waved to her in surprise and excitement, asking if she was up to something again, or if she had moved some kind of deep-sea base there.

When asked by the ship girls, Xiaobai could only smile awkwardly and explain that those were just some Abyssal Taihou who hadn't had time to equip themselves with Abyssal Aura Shielding Devices.

If you really want to say something special, there's nothing special about it.

It's just that there are a lot of them...

When Shiro and Chao Yamato arrived at the entrance of Akashi's convenience store, a petite figure in matcha brown had been squatting there waiting for a long time.

"Why isn't the Admiral here yet, meow..." Akashi, cupping her face in her hands, squatted at the entrance of the convenience store, muttering to herself while drawing circles with a twig. When Shiro and Yamato finally approached her vigilance range, Akashi immediately raised her head, her eyes gleaming, and stood up. "Admiral!!! You're finally here! Akashi has been waiting for you for so long!!!"

"Huh? Waiting for me?" Before Xiaobai could even greet her, she was intrigued by Akashi's reaction and pointed to herself as she asked.

“Yes, meow. After all, in this situation, no matter what I think, the Admiral will come to me immediately, meow…” Akashi nodded, turning her head to look in the direction of the naval base square, looking at the deep-sea aura pillar soaring into the sky. “Akashi is a professional businesswoman, she will never miss any opportunity to make money, meow.”

"what……"

Shiro scratched his cheek and smiled at Akashi.

"So, it seems I don't need to say hello and can just get straight to the point," Xiaobai asked Akashi. "Akashi, how many deep-sea aura shielding devices do you have left?"

"Admiral, please come in." Akashi opened the door of the convenience store, slipped inside, and then, supporting herself against the door, called out to Shiro.

Xiaobai and Chaoda exchanged a glance, and then the two went inside.

Akashi's convenience store really has everything. As soon as Shiro walked in, he saw a dazzling array of snacks on display. There were also popcorn machines, sausage grilling machines, cotton candy machines, and other gadgets on the counter. As soon as Akashi saw Shiro come in, he immediately greeted him and then went into the store's storeroom.

"Admiral, please wait here for a moment, meow! Akashi will be right there!"

"Oh……"

Shiro and Yamato stood in front of the counter, watching Akashi disappear into the warehouse, where a series of splashing sounds came from inside.

After a while, Akashi came out carrying a cardboard box that was about half the size of her.

"Admiral, it's been four months since you last came to pick up the Deep Sea Aura Shielding Device, meow. In these four months, Akashi has always believed that you will find more Deep Sea Directors in the future, so she has never slacked off on the jewelry carving, meow." Akashi carried a large cardboard box to the counter, opened the box, and pushed it to Shiro to see, "Admiral, please take a look, meow!"

Xiao Bai stared blankly at the oversized cardboard box in front of him.

Super Big stepped forward and took the cardboard box, then bent down and handed the top layer of the box to Xiaobai.

The cardboard box was filled with bracelets, hair clips, rings and other ornaments. All of these ornaments had the same quality as those from the Sukhbaatar and Odin ships. When they were placed together, Xiaobai could even feel the deep-sea aura in the air trying to avoid them.

Chapter 3798 The Satisfied Deep-Sea Phoenixes

Chao Da moved the cardboard box slightly while holding it, and a rustling sound immediately came from inside the box, which sounded subtly reassuring.
