The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

"Well... I used some of the historical data from that phone." Hyperion, also somewhat embarrassed, pointed to the Orange 8 phone next to him.

Hearing what Hyperion said, Adon didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and tossed aside the vacuum cleaner advertisement in front of him. The webpage that was tossed aside turned into fragments of light and shadow in mid-air, and continued to rotate around the room with the knock-off mobile phone as the center.

"You can use a phone like that?" After witnessing this, Rodney glanced at his own phone, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and put his relatively new Orange 9 phone back into his pocket. He then reached out towards a fragment of light and shadow, wanting to try out how to use the phone that the Starship Girl had made.

However, he found that his arm passed directly through the green light and shadow fragments floating in the air. These light and shadow fragments did not behave like real objects when Adun made his move.

"Rodney!" Seeing his sister lose her boat, Nelson felt like he was losing his boat too and quickly grabbed Rodney.

“Using someone else’s phone requires permissions, little girl,” Hyperion said, barely suppressing a laugh.

"I'm not a little girl!" Rodney said, puffing out his chest and using a certain part of his body to prove he wasn't wrong.

"..." Hyperion glanced at a certain part that swayed because of Rodney's deliberate display, then looked at his own part that barely reached B, and his face instantly darkened.

"Hyperion, grant them temporary access." Adun said while browsing the web, seemingly unconcerned about the sight of her ship girl and best friend being upset.

"I'll give it to you, but I don't want it!" Hyperion said with a dark face, then turned around and went to play with himself... well, he should say he went to play with his mechanical eye.

"Is it really that bad?" Adun didn't know why Hyperion was so upset. She stood up, took out her phone, took a picture of all the ship girls present, including Charlotte, and said, "You can use it now too."

Noticing a certain part of Adun's body swaying slightly with her casual movements, the ship girls from Naval Base 233, who had been photographed, exclaimed, "That's really necessary!"

"It's ready to use?" Upon hearing Admiral Charlotte's words, he reached out and touched a fragment of light and shadow that had flown to his side.

The light and shadow fragments that Charlotte touched paused and trembled briefly, then suddenly changed color from green to blue.

Charlotte, thinking she had made a mistake, nervously glanced at Adon, who was browsing four or five web pages at once.

"Nothing went wrong. The system's recognition mechanism detected that you are an admiral, so it directly switched you to an admiral-specific core and network," said Ardon, who continued browsing the web without even glancing at Charlotte.

"Huh? This phone can directly access the Admiral's Network?" Charlotte asked, somewhat surprised.

“Hardware shielding is indeed a bit troublesome, but it’s not a major problem.” This kind of technical question should have been answered by the main copycat division, Hyperion, but given that the battlecruiser was in a slump, Adun reluctantly gave a reply.

"...Not too much of a problem?" Charlotte, somewhat speechless at these starship girls, mimicked Adun's gesture of opening her arms. The blue light and shadow fragments unfolded into a page floating in the air, just like before.

"Even though I can't touch it, it feels just like the real thing." And having gotten used to the small screen of the Orange phone, using such a large screen that can move with her movements and gaze does give Charlotte a sci-fi feeling.

“If your technology can develop for a longer period of time, it can become real, not just look like it.” As he spoke, Adun reached into a shopping webpage in front of him, and then with a slight clench of his hand, he took a lifelike projection of some kind of commemorative old-fashioned weapon for sale on the webpage.

Then some substances piled up in Adun's palm, and before long, the old-fashioned weapon sold on that webpage appeared in Adun's hand.

With a "bang," Ardon, who had fired the gun while covering the muzzle with his hand, threw a still-steaming, deformed bullet onto the table, making the entire room extremely quiet.

"Come on, who knows when this world's technology will be able to learn how to construct information matter? You might as well just spread crystal towers all over the planet and let them use warp drives instead of express delivery."

Hyperion exposed Adun's magic with a single sentence, and the remaining bullet was shot into Hyperion's mouth, causing the star cruiser to cough for a while.

"This is really, really amazing," Charlotte stammered, knowing she couldn't learn it.

Chapter 179: The Ship's Hull Is Unsatisfactory Eight or Nine Times Out of Ten

“Ugh, what a sad thing for the ship,” Hyperion exclaimed with great resentment, sitting with Adun near the antenna at the highest point of the Vanguard’s Glory.

Sitting next to Hyperion, Adun, who was wearing headphones and seemingly either sleeping or listening to music, did not comment on Hyperion's resentment.

To be precise, there was absolutely no reaction, leaving Hyperion to wail and scream as it pleased.

“Hey, where’s your ship’s condition? I’ve suffered a major hull failure.” Hyperion grabbed Adun’s large headphones and said.

"What did you just say?" Adun asked Hyperion, rubbing his eyes as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep, after his headphones were removed.

"...So you didn't hear me or what?" Hyperion glanced at Ardon's seemingly genuine expression, then at the headphones in his hand. He carefully put them on, only to be nearly shattered by the cacophony of blasting rock music coming from them.

Startled, Hyperion quickly moved the headphones away, only to discover that Adun seemed to have covered the earpiece with a very thin psionic protective layer that only served to block out sound.

"You're blaming me for speaking too softly?" Ardon, who had taken the headphones back from the Hyperion and put them back on, closed his eyes again.

"Are you asking me to use the Yamato cannon as a microphone?" Hyperion complained irritably, recalling the deafening music from earlier.

"Wait, I have something to tell you..." After complaining, Hyperion realized he had almost forgotten what he was going to say, so he hurriedly picked up Adonis's headphones again, which was just as foolish.

The result was predictable: Adun kicked him dozens of meters down onto the bridge, startling the Vanguard who was focused on piloting the ship.

"Luckily, I'm still in good shape, otherwise I wouldn't have enough durability to be your escort ship." The Hyperion, having scrambled back to the top of the signal tower, seemed to have accepted its role as the Adun escort ship.

"Speak, what is it?" Adun asked Hyperion, temporarily turning off the music on his knock-off phone and taking off his earphones.

“I can’t buy anything,” Hyperion said in a very tragic tone.

"Huh?" Adon was a little taken aback.

“I mean, I can’t buy anything.” Hyperion’s entire being exuded an aura of despair as he spoke: “Can you understand the feeling of being able to browse those treasures but not be able to buy them, Adun?”

“I don’t understand…” Ardon looked Hyperion up and down, and after realizing that she had only bothered him to talk about this, he casually replied and put his headphones back on.

"Hey, don't do this! As my commander, you have to help me think of a solution!" Hyperion hurriedly stopped Adun from putting on the headphones, disregarding his own safety.

"What can I do for you? Do you want me to copy something you want? No problem, as long as the materials are enough, I'll do it for free, considering we're sisters in arms." Adun spoke in a tone that suggested she was a good sister who had her back.

"Do you think I don't know how much resources I have in my pocket?" Hyperion was a little angry at Adun's blatant lying. As a ship girl who had only been summoned to this world by Adun not long ago, besides the little resources Adun gave her as her salary, which wasn't even enough to eat, she only had a little dowry she brought from her homeland.

Putting aside the family resources that were considered part of their dowry, the Hyperion is now penniless, unable to even build a single SCV.

"Then I can't help it. The Xel'Naga can't create things out of thin air either." To be precise, the Xel'Naga can, and the Protoss's technology can also get a glimpse of information creation, but why would Adun bother with some kind of ethereal creation?

"That's not what I meant! I meant, Adun, can you help me register for online banking?!" Hyperion shouted out his idea as he saw Adun about to put on his headphones.

"Huh? Online banking?" Adun stopped in his tracks, looking as if he didn't understand what Hyperion was saying.

"It's online banking, you know. I basically hacked into it. I can't buy anything without real-name authentication," Hyperion explained his predicament.

Even if she's an interstellar girl (ship girls can be considered girls to some extent), she'll feel just as desperate when she's only able to browse the shop but can't buy anything.

"With your technology, hacking into this world's banking system shouldn't be a problem, right?" Adun, who had been holding up his headphones, wondered why the Hyperion was so desperate.

"What do we do after we hack in?" Hyperion was exasperated by Adun's still clueless reaction.

"And then...and then...let's just leave it at that." Seeing Hyperion's exasperated look, Adun did realize that his suggestion to hack in earlier wasn't very reliable. After all, it was illegal, and even with the best skills, there was always a chance of being discovered, which would be troublesome.

"Actually, it's not that complicated. Ship girls don't need to go to the Governor's Mansion to take tests like you admirals do. Ship girl authentication only requires a guarantee from the admiral or the school."

"I just tried registering and verifying my real name," said Hyperion.

“But I’m not certified yet.” Yaton said that he was also an unregistered person before he went to the Central Academy to get his admiral status.

"I have faith in the Protoss's technology!" Hyperion returned to the conclusion of hacking in: "After all, you are an admiral, so you can get on the train first and buy the ticket later."

“…” After staring at the Hyperion for a while, Adun put his headphones back on without saying anything.

"Hey, shouldn't sisters go to great lengths for each other?" The Hyperion jumped up when it saw Adun's reaction.

"My sisters are the Memories of Nessin and the Pride of Otaris, not some old, outdated human battlecruiser," Adun retorted, listening to the song with his eyes closed.

"...Damn it, what happened to the sisterhood in the flames of war?" Hyperion immediately corrected herself, realizing she had misspoke.

“Saving the world together is no problem, but how about I help you get on the train first and pay the fare later…” Before he could finish the last word, Adun suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction that the Vanguard Glory Form was heading.

Hyperion turned his head in almost the same direction as Adun.

"Did you see that?" Adon wasn't surprised that Hyperion had also noticed something was wrong.

“There are quite a few, and two of them are about the same level as your jellyfish.” Hyperion’s expression turned slightly serious as he turned the topic back to Adun, saying, “Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect that the detection range of your star array system is the same as my radar in this world.”

Hyperion still remembered how Adun used the Star Array System to completely outclass him in reconnaissance.

"Because that's the upper limit set by the power of the world." Adun didn't care about the Hyperion's triumphant attitude. If it weren't for the upper limit forcibly set by the power of the world, both Adun's star array and the Hyperion's battlecruiser radar would be more than enough to cover the entire planet.

"Should we remind them?" Hyperion was naturally referring to the ship girls of Naval Base No. 233 who had not yet noticed the enemy situation.

"It's nothing serious, we can leave it to them." Although they can't match the number of their opponents, Adun felt that their quality was far superior, not to mention the reputation ship he had transformed into an Immortal.

“That’s true, with us backing us up, what problems could possibly arise?” Hyperion said after thinking it over and deciding there was no need to make a fuss.

"Then you better take good care of yourself." After saying that, Yaton continued to listen to the music with his eyes closed.

"Hey!"

Chapter 180 Encountering the Wild Deep Sea

After the two starship girls, Adun and Hyperion, who were not involved in the comparison of combat power, were the first to discover that an elite deep-sea fleet had appeared on the route.

The Nautilus, which had been forced to obey Adun's orders and take care of the jellyfish Wo-chan the whole time, soon discovered a deep-sea fleet that should not have appeared in the heart of the human camp's territorial waters.

The Deep Sea Princess surfaced with one head, glanced at Adun who was still amusing herself on the Vanguard signal tower, pondered for a moment, and then silently dived into the depths of the sea.

Thinking that Nautilus was playing hide-and-seek with her, wo-chan covered her eyes and waited for a long time. Just as she was about to look for the hidden Nautilus, she suddenly realized something, looked in front of her with a serious expression, and said "wo".

Based on his deep-sea captain's intuition, Wo-chan, who sensed the deep-sea fleet, hesitated for a moment and did not launch his reconnaissance aircraft.

I remember Yaton always saying that we should conceal our identities if possible.

Although with Adun's help, Wo-chan can transform into Wo-sex to avoid revealing her identity due to the Abyssal Ship Armor, Adun cannot transform the large-mouthed, puff-shaped carrier-based aircraft with Abyssal characteristics inside Wo-chan's body into the carrier-based aircraft of the human faction's aircraft carrier girl.

Meanwhile, the leader of the distant deep-sea fleet, a deep-sea aviation battleship whose combat power was no less than that of wo-chan, seemed to have sensed something, stood up from its whale-shaped ship armor, and glanced at the designated target point.

"What happened?" asked a deep-sea aircraft carrier similar to Wo-chan, leaning on a cane, who was following beside her.

"It seems something unexpected has happened." The deep-sea combatant didn't turn his gaze to his subordinates, but continued to stare intently ahead as he spoke.

"An accident? Was the informant's intelligence wrong? Or is she lying to us?" For the deep-sea ship girls, this area was already considered human territory. Even with the help of an inside source, infiltrating such a deep place kept these deep-sea ship girls in a state of constant tension.

"The informant's intelligence is reliable, because His Holiness the Pope himself is involved," the Deepsea Naval Commander said to his subordinates without blinking.

"His Holiness the Pope has personally intervened in this matter?" The Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier's expression stiffened slightly when she heard her superior mention the Pope.

"This matter is very important, as it concerns the Fran fleet, which is why His Holiness the Pope personally intervened." Sensing what had happened, the deep-sea naval combatant lowered his head and glanced at the screen on his whale-shaped ship's rigging.

"Is the target really that admiral?" The deep-sea aircraft carrier was somewhat incredulous about the target this time.

"What, do you have any questions?" The deep-sea naval combatant's tone didn't change much, but the implied meaning sent a chill down the spine of the talkative deep-sea carrier.

"I mean, are we enough ships?" Although this deep-sea carrier was confident in its combat capabilities and in the fact that its leader was almost as powerful as the Princess-class, it seemed that it was not enough to directly confront the admiral who had been guarding the entrance to the northern cemetery for decades.

"Intelligence shows that he only brought one aircraft carrier ship girl this time. Even if it's that hero-class Essex, we can easily take her down with our ships, so this is a rare opportunity." The deep-sea naval battleship said, and began to command the remaining deep-sea battleships, and the deep-sea torpedo patrols set up an ambush.

"They're here?" Seeing the leader's action, the deep-sea carrier slammed her scepter down and released several deep-sea fighters from her jellyfish-like hull, which then circled around her.

"They're here, but not the target." The leader of the deep-sea naval aviation also launched several carrier-based aircraft, but not fighters, but bombers.
