After saying goodbye to each other, the two girls returned to their fleet.
Wang Yu relaxed a little.
Although there were some unexpected developments in the middle.
This was not the scenario he envisioned for the meeting.
It can only be said that this was not his original intention, but he executed it well in the process.
All in all, he still achieved his goal.
Learn more about this world, make contact with the locals in this world and gain trust, find a place for repairs and supplies for your warships...
Then there was another surprise.
He opened the suitcase he was holding in his hand again and looked at the cube that lay flat and stable in the box, like a crystal without any impurities.
"Mind core?"
He murmured to himself: "'The embryo of a ship girl', Commander Hahara chose a metaphor that is easy for people to understand."
Although he accepted this setting, it was still difficult to imagine how to make the "battleship", a purely inorganic creation, have self-awareness through a cube.
What interests him more is not only the effects that the mental core can bring, but also its origin - Hahara Mio means that as long as a formation-sized siren fleet is sunk, it is possible to obtain the mental core as a weapon. spoils of war.
However, according to Wang Yu's current understanding, the ship girl and the siren are in an ever-dead hostile relationship. As a result, sinking the siren can obtain the key items used to generate the ship girl. This is a bit difficult to understand.
But don’t think too much about these things that lack cause and effect. Once you think about it too much, it will only make people’s thinking become more and more confusing like tangled headphone cables.
So Wang Yu could only put these doubts in the back of his mind and wait until later.
Now, what he wants to do is not to inquire into the fundamentals, but to apply.
Just like when he was studying, he didn't know the principles of formulas in most cases, but that didn't stop him from using these formulas to solve various problems.
Later, when I have the ability to come into contact with the derivation of those formulas, I will talk about understanding the principles.
His concept of priorities is very clear.
Wang Yu closed the suitcase.
He returned to the ship and put the suitcase in the safe in the captain's cabin.
Then he returned to the bridge, sat on the seat by the porthole, and looked at the four battleships of Hahara Mio's fleet.
After a short period of thinking, Wang Yu's ideas became clearer.
Through his brief contact with Hahara Mio, he already had some preliminary plans for what to do when he came to this world.
The first step is to install this mental core on the battleship after the Annapolis is repaired. It will be used to make the battleship form consciousness and thereby enhance the battleship's combat effectiveness.
Then, he felt that he could cooperate with Commander Hahara Mio in all aspects.
If Wang Yu's guess is correct, then the commanders of this world obviously have considerable abilities and status - they have private ports and private fleets, which means they have large material reserves and systematic maintenance, repair and modification of warships. and even construction equipment and platforms.
Wang Yu has also been in the fleet, and he is well aware of the huge amount of resources required to maintain a fleet - taking his Annapolis as an example, the total amount of fuel used to supply the power system alone is It would require close to 3,000 tons.
Not to mention things like regular maintenance of battleships.
Wang Yu feels that even if there is a ship girl, the process of maintaining the warship and repairing the warship after it is damaged cannot be omitted.
Therefore, cooperation with the commanders of this world is in line with the different interests and needs of both parties.
For Wang Yu, it can effectively improve her own strength; for Hahara Mio, it can improve the competitiveness of her fleet and port area in destroying sirens.
It is undoubtedly an effective way to achieve a win-win situation.
So Wang Yu plans to work as a "mercenary" with Annapolis first. He can help Mio Hahara fight against the sirens, and in return, Mio Hahara will provide him with more support-for example, help him build New battleships.
Since the commander of this world can command a fleet, Wang Yu feels that he has to do as the Romans do and build a fleet of his own.
If you want to settle down in this world, then this may be the best way.
For the time being, he didn't want to think about "going home" that all time travelers would consider, because he knew that it would be useless to think about it at the moment. It would be better to think about something more important and more realistic.
After thinking for a while, the radio received a communication from Mio Hahara from the Prinz Eugen - before she left, she gave Wang Yu a radio channel to communicate with her.
Mio Hahara said it was time to set off, leaving Wang Yu in the center of her fleet to sail closely behind the Prinz Eugen.
Wang Yu expressed that he had received the news that during the previous brief berth, the battleship's engine did not stop, but was still running, so it could still set off quickly at this time.
As a result, bursts of black smoke that were not very thick but could be seen with the naked eye emerged from the chimneys of the four battleships of Hahara Mio's fleet, and then slowly accelerated.
Wang Yu pushed the cart clock forward to let the battleship sail to the predetermined position, and then kept a safe distance of about 1.5 nautical miles behind the Prinz Eugen, maintaining the same speed as them.
Hahara Mio knew that Wang Yu's battleship was damaged, so she deliberately slowed down her speed.
The bow of the battleship split through the waves, and ripples appeared on both sides. The stern of the battleship also created a "blue lane" as the battleship moved forward.
Finally set off again.
But compared to aimlessly sailing on the sea before, this time I finally have a direction.
Wang Yu felt that he had been unlucky for a long time, and now things finally started to change.
At least things are moving in a good direction for now.
The fleet turned north and began its long voyage at a speed of ten knots.
At this time, Wang Yu realized that he had not even taken a bite of hot rice, and his stomach had already protested.
The bowl of noodles that I had prepared for lunch before the war had now turned into a lump of unknown stuff, which was obviously inedible.
He sighed, took out two cans and bread from the inventory, and finished a meal on the bridge.
It was evening and Wang Yu received a message from Mio Hahara.
She excitedly told Wang Yu that the main fleet in her port area was coming to rendezvous.
Wang Yu looked in the direction she gave, and sure enough, he saw a fleet that looked quite large leaping out from the horizon on the side of the battleship, in the setting sun in the west, and was approaching in a line.
Is that the entire fleet of Commander Mio Hahara?
Wang Yu looked at the main fleet. The most eye-catching ones were the two large-scale battleships sailing at the front of the fleet. He recognized that one of them was an Amagi-class battlecruiser, and the other one was an Amagi-class battlecruiser. King Kong-class battleship.
These two battleships have ten 410mm main guns and eight 356mm main guns respectively. They can be said to be the final words in the fleet.
The cruiser's stack projection kills the siren, and the battleship can sometimes severely damage the siren in one round. In fact, in most cases, the battleship is the greater deterrent to the siren.
Hahara Mio happily said in the communication that with the existence of the main fleet, at least there is no need to worry about being harassed by sirens on the way back to the port area.
Wang Yu agreed. Annapolis currently has very little ammunition and fuel left, so with this main fleet, if he really encounters the Siren, then he can happily paddle around and fish.
Ji Ji frowned and retreated behind everyone.
It took an hour for the main fleet to approach and begin to join the sailing formation.
Mio Hahara must have told the ship girls in the main fleet about the existence of Annapolis, so the whole process was smooth.
When all the warships completed their formation sailing, the setting sun on the horizon had already dimmed, and in the sky on the other side, two bright moons were already hanging high.
