The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

All an official admiral needs to do is scan the QR code provided by the relevant department or unit in the designated area using their mobile phone.

So when Vauquelin handed over those ship girl certification documents, both Adun and Hyperion became officially certified ship girls in the human faction of this world.

The ship girls who have become real-name verified include Kaga, the First Carrier Division ship that Adun just retrieved, and a certain Abyssal spy, Sykes-chan.

It has to be said that when this academically gifted admiral discovered that one of the ship girls he needed to verify was the naturally ditzy Essex, he hesitated for quite a while.

There's a feeling that if I get certified, I'll become a ********.

Helping a deep-sea ship girl register and verify her identity on the human faction's network... Sigh, how come this plot is so fantastical?

"By the way, why was your phone in South Dakota's hands just now?" After finishing all that, Admiral finally remembered the train of thought that had been interrupted by the admiral.

"I was taking a shower, so I left my phone with the secretary ship," Tidu said, not understanding what Adun was worried about.

"If I remember correctly, South Dakota isn't your ship girl, Admiral," Adun said after thinking for a moment.

"It's alright, I asked her and she said it's fine. While you're away from the naval base, South Dakota will temporarily take your place. It's just temporary." Tidu thought Adun was complaining about losing her position as the secretary ship.

"Oh, I'm fine now. I hope you and South Dakota get along well," Ardon said and hung up the phone.

"What? What do you mean by getting along well?" In the rest room of the temporary naval base at the remote No. 666, Tidu, holding a glass of milk, looked at her phone, which had already been disconnected, and felt that there was something hidden in Adon's words just now.

"Admiral, do you need to change your clothes?" South Dakota walked in carrying a pile of clothes.

"Oh, okay, you can just put it there." Ti, who couldn't figure it out, simply put down her phone.

At the same time, the retired Tirpitz gave Adun a subtle once-over before turning to Charlotte and saying:

"Young master, a woman with too many secrets can be very dangerous."

"What are you saying, Zhai Jie?" Charlotte, who thought Tirpitz was going to press for details, was surprised to hear this and asked in return.

"It's a secret~" Tirpitz revealed a smile that sent a chill down Charlotte's spine.

"Ahem, so, can we apply to join that game competition now?" Seeing this, Adun knew that this retired ship girl must know something, so she changed the subject.

"Okay, no problem. But do you have enough people?" Tirpitz, hearing Adun's question, put aside his teasing of the young master and asked.

"Number of people? How many people do we need?" Yaton recalled that Tidu had mentioned on the phone that there might not be enough people.

"Well, while professional teams in official competitions don't have a specific number of members, it's best to have a team of five ship girls due to the game's mechanics," Tirpitz answered Adun's question with ease.

"Does it have to be a ship girl?" Adun asked, knowing there must be a reason why Tirpitz specifically mentioned ship girls.

"Didn't your admiral just say on the phone? Thunder Battleships, Thunder Fighters, and Thunder Tanks don't have any platform requirements. They can be played on anything from the standard Vita platform to holographic simulators, so ordinary people can enjoy them. Of course, playing them with the latest virtual pods is also fine."

As Tirpitz spoke, he took out his Orange 9 phone and waved it, saying, "If you can tolerate the small screen and performance issues, you can actually play with the latest Orange phone."

“But Thunder World…” Tirpitz paused before introducing the game with the highest prize money and said, “In order to perfectly showcase the real battle of simultaneous cooperation between the land, sea and air forces, we can only use virtual pods to play the game. Using such virtual pods is very dangerous for ordinary people who do not have ship equipment and ship equipment space.”

"Very dangerous?" The Protoss also have similar devices that connect to virtual reality ports, such as the Kara Light spiritual ocean that the Nautilus accidentally stumbled into.

However, Adton speculated that the danger Tirpitz described was probably different from the danger the Nautilus had encountered.

"Yes, it was dangerous, probably because it was too real," Tirpitz said in a reminiscing tone.

"Hey, Senior Sister, didn't you also participate in the Thunder World Invitational Tournament? You shouldn't have had your ship equipment by then, right?" Rodney asked curiously after hearing Tirpitz say that.

"Even without my ship equipment, I was once a hero-class ship girl," Tirpitz boasted before continuing, "However, it was precisely because I discovered this drawback of the virtual pod that non-ship girls were banned from participating in the virtual competitions of Thunder World starting this year."

"Wow, a game tester." It seems that in the eyes of a game enthusiast like Rodney, what Tirpitz did was truly remarkable.

"Five ships?" Adun glanced at the Hyperion first, and the human battlecruiser immediately made a "no problem" gesture.

Adon then turned his gaze to wosex-chan, who, knowing only that there were games to play, happily uttered "wo" and said she was very happy.

As for the remaining Kaga, before Adun could even look at it, the Kaga immediately spoke up, saying, "Whatever it is, as long as it's your order, Admiral, I will do it with the honor of the First Carrier Division."

Feeling that Kaga didn't need to be so serious, Adun looked away and said, "So we're still short one."

“We have enough here,” Charlotte said, pointing to the ship girl beside her after hearing what Adun said.

With the head maid, Renown, Vanguard, the Nelson and Rodney sisters, plus Prinz Eugen who volunteered to patrol with two submarines under Adun's command, you have a total of five ship girls.

"How about I help you look? With my connections, I should be able to poach a few ship girls from some decent teams," Tirpitz suggested.

"Well, actually, we have enough ships." If we include the Nautilus and Xiaoyou, Adun is a little worried that the two deep-sea slackers are not very reliable: "But I need two more sets of ship girl certification materials."

"You're still hiding it! I hate Otti like that the most!" Even though he wasn't the admiral, Tirpitz used the same tone as Tidu.

Actually, I didn't intend to hide it. Arden has already taken those comments about her being European to heart.

There is no region called Europe on the Protoss's homeworld, Aiur.

Chapter 217 Sentimental Knockoff Game Cabin

Since both their own admiral and Tirpitz have repeatedly mentioned the virtual pods specifically for ship girls, Adun and Hyperion, as interstellar ship girls from the high-tech era, are both eager to see what kind of cutting-edge technology the virtual pods in this world use.

Hyperion Bialton, in particular, was more interested in these things.

Perhaps due to the direction of technological development, the Terran Empire in the Koprulu Sector, where the Hyperion is located, is sometimes less developed in terms of daily entertainment than this world.

Virtual reality technology is more of a laboratory product and has not been truly popularized. At most, it is used to train pilots of Viking fighters or Thor mechs.

Unfortunately, the military of the Teren Empire later realized that instead of spending a lot of money to train pilots with virtual reality equipment, it would be better to just send them to the battlefield.

Even if only one out of ten survives, it's still a win.

This is the normal mindset of the Terran Empire in the Koprulu Sector, and it also reflects, to some extent, the Terran's position among the three races in the Koprulu Sector.

However, when they actually saw the virtual pod, both Adun and Hyperion were somewhat surprised.

"I thought it would be some kind of brain neural interface device," Hyperion said, looking at the egg-shaped cockpit in front of him, his thoughts still lingering on the tube inserted into the back of his head.

"Judging from its mechanism of action, this thing is quite similar to a... primitive way of using Kedarin crystals." Adun glanced at it and knew how the egg-shaped cockpit worked.

"No wonder only ship girls can use it, it's all thanks to... well, that thing I should call the Admiral's Mind Network." Hyperion, who had figured it out a bit after tapping the eggs, said.

"Hey, be careful! These latest virtual gaming pods are really expensive!" Tirpitz said quickly, seeing Hyperion's clumsy movements.

"Don't worry, this thing, if it breaks, I can make you another one." Hyperion looked down on the technology of this world.

“Create another one? Good idea?” Adun’s eyes lit up when he heard Hyperion say that. It seemed that he could do a lot of things if he used the virtual pod he created.

"Well, it's no use making it yourself. For official competitions, all the equipment has to be provided by the official organizers." Tirpitz was originally going to complain about the Hyperion's arrogance, but then he suddenly remembered that the starship in front of him was a tech geek who could even make knock-off Orange phones.

"Uh, I was just kidding. Making a cell phone almost exhausted me, let alone something this big..." Hyperion patted the egg-shaped virtual pod, which was about twice his height.

“From a technical standpoint, this virtual pod isn’t that complicated.” Ardon waved his Hyperion Orange phone, indicating that it was similar to this one, and continued, “It’s just a bit bigger. I’ll help.”

"Well, alright then." Remembering Adun's skillful use of psionic energy, Hyperion reluctantly agreed.

"If you really want to create your own dedicated gaming pod, that's fine too. Many professional gamers will ask engineering ship girls to customize virtual pods that best suit their usage habits, but it's best to use this kind of public version."

Tirpitz, sensing that the two starship girls were about to start showing off their skills, gave them a helpless reminder.

"Don't worry, we're good at this kind of thing." Hyperion, who didn't know what he was good at, immediately started telling Adun about the types and quantities of materials needed for the counterfeit virtual warehouse.

Upon hearing what Hyperion needed, Adun made no attempt to hide anything and began performing Protoss magic in what was originally the conference room of the government compound.

In less than half an hour, in Tirpitz's eyes as she looked at the alien ship girl, two virtual pods, almost identical in size and style to the originals, appeared in the conference room.

"Done..." Hyperion said, wiping non-existent sweat from his forehead after finishing his work.

“It suits your style, but are you sure it makes sense?” Adun nodded as she glanced at the virtual pod interior that Hyperion had created for her.

“This is called sentimentality, sentimentality!” Hyperion exclaimed loudly as he scrambled into his virtual pod and lay down on the chair.

"Is this what you call sentimentality?" Adun said, having been able to see the entire Hyperion's private virtual pod without having to stand on tiptoe, simply by relying on his height.

"What sentimentality?" Tirpitz, who had finally snapped out of her temporary daze caused by the alien ship girl, also came over to take a look.

What appeared before her eyes was a virtual pod that should have contained only a recliner and a virtual link helmet, but was decorated like the cockpit of some kind of spaceship.

A bunch of strange buttons, multiple composite screens, a two-in-one multi-functional joystick, and a pendant that looks like some kind of insect hanging from it.

"Hehe, how about it? Imperial style, huh?" Hyperion said, shaking the joystick a few times as if he were piloting a spaceship.

"I thought you'd get a monitor, a keyboard with only three keys, and a mouse." In Adun's eyes, if we're talking about sentimentality, this is what human sentimentality should be like.

"...Adon, are you making fun of me?" Hyperion's face darkened when he heard Adun bring up the Thor mech cockpit again.

To meet the ever-changing battlefield requirements as much as possible, the Thor's cockpit, equipped with fully automatic target acquisition, aiming, and firing functions, is indeed designed for this purpose.

Unlike the Protoss, whose fanatics have hundreds of years of combat experience, and the Zerg, whose entire race shares combat experience, even the most elite human warriors cannot compare to the other two races in these aspects.

Therefore, we can only focus on this convenient and universal fully automated method of warfare.

"It's not that I'm complaining..." Adun just felt that the humans' approach was not wrong, but it was a bit too much, and it was too easy for experienced enemies to seize the weakness and suppress them.

"Ahem, isn't your virtual reality pod also full of sentimentality?" Hyperion, feeling unable to refute Adun on this point, decided to drag him down with him.

"Wow!" Upon hearing what Hyperion said, Tirpitz turned her gaze to Adun's virtual pod, and what she saw made the retired ship girl exclaim in surprise.

The cabin is covered with light blue crystals, and light flows back and forth among these crystals like constellation lines, forming a seemingly real yet illusory seat in the center of the virtual cabin.

Where the virtual link helmet should have been, there was only a crystal floating in the air, seemingly under the influence of some unknown force.

“This isn’t about sentimentality, it’s about style.” Satisfied with his work, Adun slowly flew into his virtual pod and placed the crystal on his forehead.

"..." Faced with this scene before her, Tirpitz didn't know how to comment on these two rather shrewd interstellar ship girls, and could only helplessly say:

"Fortunately, the methods of communication haven't changed much."

Then the two cables that were originally connected to the latest virtual pod were connected to the counterfeit virtual pod.

Which game do you want to familiarize yourself with first?

"A chariot, perhaps," Adun said after a moment's thought.

“Yes, yes, I’ll choose the chariot too,” said Hyperion, who shared the same idea as Adun.

"A two-person... tank?" Tirpitz recalled the tanks with only two crew members and roughly guessed which tank the two starship girls would be assigned to.

"Have fun, and remember to complete the newbie quests."

Chapter 218 Locally Characteristic Virtual Reality Technology

The virtual reality technology in this world is less a virtual reality calculated entirely by computers, and more a virtual cognitive world created by utilizing the abilities of each ship girl, mimicking the Admiral's mental network.

In other words, every person who enters the virtual game world through the virtual pod contributes a portion of their computing power to enhance the realism of the entire virtual game world.

In the world's parlance, it's cloud computing technology; in Ayton's eyes, it should be soul synchronization technology.
