Unknowingly, the fleet had been sailing at sea for a week.
Due to the overall slow speed of the fleet, it only sailed a total of 1,700 nautical miles in seven days. It was still less than half the distance from Hahara Mio's somewhat remote port area. It was expected that the fleet would need to sail for about five or six days.
However, the fleet finally left the uninhabited waters of the Southern Hemisphere, crossed the equator, and returned to the Northern Hemisphere, which has more routes in the world.
Their current location is in several major safe sea areas connecting the main continent and the northern hemisphere subcontinent. This is also an area where ships from the two continents have relatively intensive exchanges.
Even if the siren threat in this world is not high, ordinary unarmed civilian ships will still choose to operate along routes in safe waters.
Generally, civilian ships will sail together and then be escorted by several warships from the fleet directly under the Navy Headquarters.
Of course, there are times when the Navy General Administration cannot allocate its forces, so the commanders of various port areas can occasionally receive civilian ship escort missions for a certain amount of remuneration.
However, these tasks are generally simple, and the rewards fluctuate greatly. The benefits are not as obvious as directly completing tasks such as clearing ocean sirens.
Generally speaking, the commander of the port area will not let his elite main force participate in such tasks, but will let his newly built battleships and ship girls perform it, which can also be regarded as improving the training level of the new ship girls.
That's right, practice.
This was a topic about ship girls that Hahara Mio was chatting with Wang Yu over the radio one day.
Wang Yu is actually very grateful to this warm-hearted commander girl.
During the conversation, she provided Wang Yu with a lot of knowledge about ship girls, giving Wang Yu a deeper understanding of the special existence of ship girls.
The level of training mentioned is a very important factor in measuring the combat effectiveness of a ship girl.
Training can be understood as the effectiveness of the ship girl in controlling the battleship.
A battleship has complex systems.
It is related to the power system for warship navigation; it is related to the armament system for warship combat; it is related to the sighting system for warships to find enemies; and it is related to the communication system for warship communication.
In fact, it is impossible for a newly born warship consciousness, that is, a ship girl, to be familiar with all the systems on the warship at the first time - for a ship girl, controlling the hull and using weapons and other operations are their instinct, but the instinct is only for themselves. The violent application of talent is far from being called "flexible application".
Therefore, improving the training level of ship girls is actually to let ship girls deepen their understanding of their "instincts" so that they can use their abilities efficiently.
A ship girl with a relatively low level of training will be relatively inexperienced in controlling the battleship. For example, it is difficult for a new ship girl to take into account both firing and maneuvering at the same time. When they fire, they cannot control the maneuverability of the battleship efficiently. And when concentrating on maneuvering, the battleship's full firepower cannot be used.
Not only that, it is also difficult for ship girls with relatively low training levels to achieve precise strikes. They always fail to aim at the enemy, and basically need to rely on calibrated shooting to adjust the attack position; at the same time, their ship maneuvering performance is also average, and they often appear In some cases, the rudder was pushed too far and the battleship was twisted at the wrong angle and the core was exploded by the sirens.
The method to improve the training level of ship girls is also simple. In addition to letting high-level ship girls teach their experience, that is to let low-level ship girls constantly experience the feeling of using their own abilities in actual navigation and combat. Over time, , the ship girl's ability to control the battleship will increase.
Therefore, in addition to some civilian ship escort missions, the commanders of each port area are also willing to take on some low-intensity combat missions, and then some more highly trained ship girls will lead a team of low-skilled ship girls to execute them. Let’s improve together.
That's probably it.
Wang Yu learned that Mio Hahara had not been the commander for a long time in the real sense - after all, the girl looked young, and there were not many highly trained ship girls in her fleet.
Fortunately, the battleships on her side have a relatively high level of training, which is enough for her to perform some more difficult combat missions, exchange for the resources necessary for the development of her port area, and speed up the growth of other low-level ship girls.
After Wang Yu heard about the training, he couldn't help but have some wild thoughts.
What kind of training level will the ship girls born in Annapolis have?
…………
During the fleet's journey north, Wang Yu had already seen many civilian ships.
Those civilian ships sail together on routes within safe waters, so every time the fleet encounters civilian ships, there are a dozen or so large fleets with various ships, and the route seems busy and lively.
Looking at the civilian ships avoiding the warships, Wang Yu couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
He had never seen this kind of scene before.
In the previous world, he was born after the siren crisis broke out. He had never seen the busy maritime transportation without the siren threat. He could only get a glimpse of the scene at that time through documentaries that recorded the beautiful past of mankind's golden age.
So when Wang Yu saw groups of civilian ships sailing on the sea, it was as if Wang Yu had seen the scene in the documentary appear in reality.
In the last time and space, wasn't what he and many naval officers fought for so that one day such a scene could happen again on the sea?
Now I have seen this scene become a reality, but it is a pity that it is indeed in another wonderful world.
But he didn't have much time to express his emotions at this time.
Because as the fleet passed through this route and away from civilian ships, the Annapolis issued a fuel warning.
There is no way, if Annapolis is fully loaded, it will be enough for Wang Yu to run back and forth from the place where he came to this world to Hahara Mio's port area.
However, the amount of fuel that the battleship carried when it came to this world was somewhat insufficient. In addition, it consumed a lot of fuel while rushing to fight. Later, it traveled long distances with Hahara Mio's fleet, so the reserves were basically used up at this time.
The oil depot located at the bottom of the ship is almost dry, leaving only a thin layer of oil.
And even if it uses a diesel engine that is relatively fuel-efficient during cruising and sails at the optimal speed, it is only enough for the warship to advance dozens of additional nautical miles.
Wang Yu immediately informed Mio Hahara of this incident.
As she said before, she would provide herself with fuel supplies.
And Mio Hahara did keep her word. She notified her port of the need for supplies a few days ago.
At present, the remaining relatively low-level warships in her port area are already escorting the oil and water supply ships and waiting not far ahead.
Wang Yu relaxed a little.
Hearing that Mio Hahara was slightly surprised to know that her battleship was burning diesel, she then emptied the diesel storage tanks in her port area and collected a total of about one thousand tons of diesel to supply Annapolis.
There is no way, her warships are basically heavy oil boilers, so the heavy oil reserves in her port area are quite amazing, tens of thousands of tons, but diesel, a fuel that her fleet usually consumes less, although she There are reserves, but not many.
However, many civilian ships in the world use diesel, and there are also many diesel ships in the commander's port area, so diesel can also be selected among the support supplies at the Navy Headquarters.
So Hahara Mio asked Wang Yu to relax, saying that he didn't have to worry too much about the source of oil.
Wang Yu felt very grateful.
Even if he had saved her once before, the fact that she could do so much for him could be regarded as repaying a drop of kindness in return.
The fleet moved forward for a while, and Wang Yu finally saw the supply fleet from Hahara Mio Port.
The core of the fleet is naturally a huge oil and water supply ship.
The supply ship's side is painted with her name as usual.
"Kazehaya" oil and water supply ship.
