Daily life with the ship girl

Therefore, the discovery of so many fake transformation cores at once made Li Ran feel a little gloomy. Why was the original garrison on this island abandoned? Was it because an unknown experiment had been conducted on this island? He didn't know, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"What about the other stuff?"

This time it was Ruo Duoruo who answered, and I only heard her say:

"Those octopus tentacles are indeed part of the ship's suit on the Deep Sea. That kind of alloy is only found on highly intelligent Deep Sea creatures. But the strange thing is that these metals have lost their metallic activity."

"Metal activity?" Li Ran was unfamiliar with the name, and he looked at the ship girls with a confused look on his face.

Ruo Duo Ruo Ze thought about it and then said:

"Admiral, you know about ship equipment, right? Most ship equipment can be built using construction equipment, and through the research of our Fairy Elders Council, we found that the principles of many construction equipment came from the hands of deep-sea fairies."

Li Ran joked:

"You mean deep sea technology?"

"Yes, Admiral, your description is correct. These ship equipment are deep-sea technology in a sense. In a sense, the construction equipment currently used by human admirals is also imitated and modified from the deep-sea equipment found on those islands after capturing certain deep-sea ports."

Li Ran frowned. If that was the case, then what about the construction device on his island?

He looked at his wrist and couldn't help but think of the ocean-like blue light. It was because of that blue light that he repaired the garrison's mansion and the magical construction device.

And what Ruo Duoruo said made Li Ran feel that this world might not be as simple as the confrontation between the deep sea and the ship girls, and there might be hidden secrets not mentioned in the game.

But Li Ran thought about it, it was getting late, and the lighting was not good in this place, so he said:

"Everyone, pack up your things. Let's go back to the garrison and study it slowly."

"Admiral, bad news." A blue fairy suddenly spoke.

"what happened?"

"Those deep-sea tentacles are beginning to die, and the metal inside is rapidly dissolving."

Everyone was shocked and hurried over, only to find that the tentacles were slowly dissolving.

Li Ran reached out to touch it, but Bismarck grabbed it. She said in a serious tone:

"Those metal solutions are corrosive, Admiral, don't be impulsive."

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, and then found that Bismarck's left hand was red and swollen.

"what happened to your hand?"

Lexington looked at Bismarck's hand, she sighed and said:

"The reason why the high-level deep-sea ship suits explode violently is because their ship suit materials have high corrosive and explosive activity. These tentacles have lost their explosive activity because they have been away from the deep-sea ship girls for too long. However, after being released from the air, these metals have dissolved into highly corrosive substances, causing great harm to our battleship girls."

"Bismarck, are you okay?" Li Ran heard this and said, "This is indeed deep-sea black technology. This thing is too amazing." Regardless of the most urgent matter, he still helped Bismarck heal his hand:

"You and Pinghai should go back to the canal immediately. The repair fluid should be able to repair the injury."

"Admiral, I'm fine." Bismarck's face was calm, as if she was not the one injured.

"This is an order, Pinghai, you take Bismarck back to the dock and into the channel first."

"I understand, Admiral." Pinghai has been looking a little depressed since she returned to port, but she didn't show it because she saw that Li Ran was very busy.

Bismarck had no choice but to say to Richelieu:

"Then the Admiral's safety is in your hands."

"Don't worry." Richelieu nodded.

Li Ran watched Bismarck and Ping Hai walk away. He felt a little awkward and a little strange:

"Two clan leaders, why didn't the metal in the tentacles dissolve in the rooms of the underground fortifications?"

Ruo Duoruo is the chief of the Ruo Duo fairy tribe. This fairy tribe has superb smelting skills and knows a lot about the characteristics of metal ores. He thought for a moment and then explained:

"It may be related to the moisture in the air. The rooms in the underground fortifications are very dry and have little moisture. The metal inside the deep-sea tentacles will go dormant after losing their matrix. As long as the moisture in the air reaches a certain level, it will dissolve or even explode. Because they have been away from their matrix for too long, the explosive activity of these deep-sea metals has been completely lost, leaving only the corrosive activity. This phenomenon only occurred after the external environment was removed."

Li Ran couldn't help but complain:

"This is simply black technology. Forget it. It seems that we can't take these deep-sea tentacles back. Let's take the fake transformation core back."

Everyone nodded, and then Bai Nuoyan and Li Ran walked side by side in the front. Her hesitant look made Li Ran feel a little strange.

"what happened to you?"

Chapter 131: Mysterious Letter

Bai Nuoyan heard Li Ran's question, she sighed and said:

"I always feel that this deep-sea attack is too strange. I can understand the deep-sea attack on the White Crane Line, but attacking the First Ship Girl Academy, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, is really strange."

Li Ran didn't know what kind of existence Deep Sea Fortress Ji was in this world, or he didn't know what kind of existence the Seven Deep Sea Flagships were, but Bai Nuoyan's words surprised him:

"You mean the First Shipgirl Academy has never been attacked before?"

"No, the Xingtu Islands where the First Ship Girl Academy is located is one of the most difficult seas to attack among the seven war zones. Without a familiar ship girl leading the way, it is impossible to pass through the outer reef-filled seas. However, the deep-sea attack caused the First Ship Girl Academy to lose contact. This is probably not a good sign."

Li Ran was silent. Indeed, judging from the map, the Xingtu Islands were located on the front line of the Atlantic theater to resist the Deep Sea Fortress Ji's habitat, and were also the core of the entire Atlantic theater's front line. Now that this core was blocked, the consequences had already begun to emerge. Not only could the Governor's notice not be conveyed, Li Ran thought that the admirals of the Atlantic and Pacific theaters might have become a mess.

Over the past few months, he had come to understand why the humans in this world had been able to stubbornly stand their ground under the attacks of countless deep-sea fleets. That was because of unity and cooperation, proper command, and the seven war zones being a whole. Once something happened in an adjacent war zone, the other war zones could immediately come to the rescue.

But this attack completely disrupted these deployments, and Li Ran vaguely felt that something was wrong.

However, the most urgent task is to find out whether the fake transformation core found in the underground fortification is related to the transformation core counterfeiting case. He thought for a while and said:

"We have too little intelligence right now, so we can't do anything blindly. All we can do now is to figure out what the connection is between these fake transformation cores and the transformation core fraud case."

"You're right. We are just trainee admirals. We may not be able to intervene in such a big matter." Bai Nuoyan still has some self-knowledge. She knows that her current strength is not as good as Li Ran. At least Li Ran has a stable island as a base, but she doesn't even have a port area. She smiled bitterly:

"However, I think with such a big incident happening in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters, I'm afraid the Dawn Exercise in the Far East Theater will be shelved indefinitely."

Li Ran was stunned for a moment. He remembered Bai Nuoyan's purpose of coming. She wanted her ship girl to follow her to help. He thought about it and said:

"What about you?"

"It's okay. This time, such a big thing happened. I was thinking about whether I could get involved."

"You want to join the war? But you now."

"We are not participating in the war, but providing intelligence. Didn't we discover these things? And as trainee admirals, we are still immature, so I'm afraid we won't have the opportunity to participate in large-scale battles."

"You're right. How about this? Let's go to the Leiming Garrison early tomorrow morning. Admiral Leiming probably knows more about this than we do."

"Well, that's all I can do. However, I'll leave the analysis of these things to you. I'm going to go back and write a letter to my father. He should have some new intelligence in the Far East theater."

"Then let's split up. It's getting late." Li Ran nodded. They had to hurry up. He didn't know why he always felt uncomfortable, as if something bad was about to happen. But he shook his head and watched Bai Nuoyan and Hipper walk away hand in hand.

Lexington came forward at this time, and seeing Li Ran staring at Bai Nuoyan's back in a daze, she said in a faint voice:

"The Admiral is very concerned about Miss Bai."

"The relationship is fine. By the way, Lexington, I have to go to the Thunder Garrison in person tomorrow. You should stay in the harbor."

"That won't work. I'm your secretary ship."

"Well, let's not talk about this for now. Let's hurry back home. We need to sort out these fake transformation cores early in the evening. I always feel a little uneasy."

"Commander, are you talking about this deep sea attack?"

"Yeah, by the way, what kind of existence is Deep Sea Fortress Princess?"

Li Ran asked as he walked.

Lexington was silent when she heard Li Ran's question. She thought for a while and said with a fearful tone:

"Deep Sea Fortress Princess is very strong, very strong. She is the one who defeated six legendary ship girls by herself."

"Legendary ship girl?" Li Ran was stunned.

"After reaching the maximum level of training, a ship girl undergoes transformation, awakens her abilities, and creates outstanding military exploits. She is called a legendary ship girl."

"You mean the Deep Sea Fortress Princess defeated six fully trained ship girls by herself?"

"Well, that time it was the vanguard troops sent by the former Governor of the Atlantic Ocean, led by six legendary ship girls. However, halfway through the battle, the six legendary ship girls were defeated when they faced the Deep Sea Fortress Princess. The coalition forces were demoralized and returned in defeat. This is the famous Bratton Route Defeat incident."

"[Great defeat on the Bratonalt route]?"

"Well, it refers to the battle against the deep sea habitat launched by the coalition forces in the Atlantic theater thirty-six years ago in order to recapture the Bratton Route, one of the theater's golden routes. However, that battle was the result of the former governor of the Atlantic theater's willful behavior. After returning in defeat, six legendary ship girls died one after another, the former governor of the Atlantic committed suicide to apologize, and Bratton was permanently occupied by the deep sea. Isn't there a large uncharted sea area on the southwest side of the current Atlantic theater? That was the original Bratton Route, which could go directly to the South Sea Theater, but after losing this route, the connection between the Atlantic Theater and the South Sea Theater became extremely difficult, resulting in the Atlantic Theater now becoming the smallest and weakest theater among the seven theaters."

Li Ran was silent. If Deep Sea Fortress Princess was really that powerful, the situation of the White Crane Line and the First Ship Girl Academy would probably be worse than imagined.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the garrison. Li Ran and the ship girls piled up the things they found on the dining table and watched the engineering goblins analyze them.

Li Ran felt that waiting like this was not a solution, so he went upstairs to get down the nautical chart.

While taking the nautical chart, Li Ran looked at the bookcase in his office and saw a book called "Seven Battles That Changed History". He took it down curiously, opened it, and found that when this book was sent as part of the supply materials, it was not Zan Xin's, because the book was densely covered with annotations.

There was also a letter inside.

"What is this?" Li Ran picked up the letter curiously. But he didn't expect that this letter would become the most unexpected turning point in his life.

Chapter 132: Who are those two children?

The handwriting on the letter was very beautiful. The letter paper was slightly yellowed. Li Ran saw that the text was in Gothic style and could barely understand it.

He placed the book on his desk and sat down to read it curiously.

The letter is very short, only a few hundred words.

The letter reads:

"Dear Royal Ark, the Bratonalt route has been completely lost, but there was a villain plotting against me. I am deeply ashamed. I should have died in the line of duty for the admiral's death, but the admiral said that even if I die in battle, I must leave my body to protect my homeland. I and my sisters have restrained the Deep Sea Fortress Princess. We must protect the two children and don't let their power awaken. The Deep Sea Fortress Princess has always wanted to take the two children back. I don't know how long I can protect the two children this time, but it doesn't matter. When you see this letter, I will probably be dead in the battle, don't worry."

Li Ran looked at it and couldn't help but stand in awe, then looked at the signature, Prince of Wales.

"Big Brother?" Li Ran smiled bitterly. He was indeed worthy of being called Big Brother. He was so domineering. Wait, this letter...

Li Ran quickly looked at the date, it was exactly thirty years ago.

"Lexington, come to the office right away. By the way, ask Gaga, Brooklyn, and the Raiders to come over. We have made an unexpected discovery."

Li Ran quickly notified Lexington through the exclusive channel.

After a while, the office door was gently pushed open.

When Li Ran saw Lexington and others coming over, he said in a tone full of disbelief:

"You are all from the First Ship Girl Academy, right? Who is your dean?"

"Dean?" Lexington frowned.

"The First Shipgirl Academy only has a vice-president, and the position of the president has been vacant for thirty years."

"What about thirty years ago?" Li Ran thought to himself that it couldn't be such a coincidence, that would be too ridiculous.

"Thirty years ago?" This time was too far away for Lexington and the others, but as students of the First Academy of Ship Girls, they still knew it. Gaga thought for a moment and said:

"It's the dean of the Royal Ark who once defeated the attack of the Deep Sea Bismarck."

"Sure enough, you guys come and read this letter."

Li Ran smiled bitterly and said to Lexington and the others.

Lexington walked up curiously and took the letter.

After reading it, Lexington was shocked.

Saratoga hadn't seen her sister look like this in a long time, and she was a little curious.

Lexington sighed, then said:

"You guys should take a look too."

Five minutes later, the office was silent.

Li Ran felt that the silence was a little scary. He coughed:

"Well, what do you think?"

"I don't know if this handwriting is from Prince Wilson himself. Where did you get it, Commander?"

"It's in the book. Didn't the last batch of supplies have a lot of books? I just heard you talk about the [Great Defeat on the Bratton Route]. When I was taking the map just now, I accidentally saw this book [Seven Battles That Changed History]. The letter was tucked inside it."

"Admiral, if this is true, who are the two children mentioned in the letter?"

In addition to being shocked, Brooklyn was more confused. After all, what happened thirty years ago was a bit far away from them. She had heard about Prince Wilson's deeds. Although he was defeated, he bought precious time for the retreat of the Atlantic Union Army. She and the other five legendary ship girls fought against the Deep Sea Fortress Princess, and their deeds were glorious even though they were defeated.

"I want to know that, too. But does this letter mean that the real purpose of attacking the Brattonalt route thirty years ago was not for the route itself? But for those two children?"
