"Mrs. Kazehaya will provide supplies for your battleship."
In the communication, Mio Hahara said to Wang Yu: "So please keep the battleship on course and maintain a speed of ten knots. Then you don't have to worry too much. She will complete the rest."
Listening to her words, Wang Yu turned his attention to the approaching oil and water supply ship.
Normally, oil and water supply ships, like maintenance ships and engineering ships, do not belong to the order of operations, which means that these ships are not warships in the conventional sense. But according to Hahara Mio, could it be that these non-warships also have ship girls?
So he asked about his doubts.
Hahara Mio explained with a smile: "Of course, ship girls are not produced strictly by warships. From the current point of view, it should be that ships that can directly contribute to attacking sirens can form consciousness, so these Ships that can provide supplies and repairs to the fleet can naturally generate consciousness and form ship girls."
To put it simply, warships fighting sirens are contributions, and ensuring the logistics of warship operations is also a contribution.
"Is it so magical?"
Wang Yu recalled the comprehensive supply ships that provided supplies to the fleet in the last time and space.
They are indeed indispensable for fleet protection. Every time the fleet is bruised and bruised but cannot return to port temporarily, they rely on these dedicated supply ships to provide the fleet with fuel and ammunition replenishment and necessary simple maintenance.
Wang Yu couldn't help but think that it would be great if a supply ship could follow him now that he was living in a different world.
All I can say is that he thought well, and let's continue dreaming.
"That's it." Hahara Mio said seriously: "My fleet relies on them to fight long distances. They have made a lot of contributions in the development of the port area."
"they?"
"Well, in addition to Mrs. Kazehaya, there is also a female Kitchen God in my port area. Her body is a maintenance ship."
It seems that the world has not yet developed a comprehensive supply ship that integrates maintenance, supply, and medical treatment.
However, Wang Yu did not intend to say more on this topic, but changed the direction of the inquiry.
"You just called her... Mrs.?" Wang Yu became curious about the ship girl: "Is the ship girl still old?"
"You have misunderstood this." Hahara Mio denied Wang Yu's guess: "Kan Niang does not have an age in the strict sense, and time will not leave any traces on them - but Kan Niang has a character, and the style She was already a very tolerant and loving ship girl, and anyone in the port area could talk to her about their troubles, so over time she became the 'madam'."
"Is that so..." Wang Yu nodded.
The supply ship contributes to the fleet behind the scenes. It seems that the character of the ship girl is also related to its function.
While Wang Yu and Hahara Mio were saying these words, the huge fuel supply ship also approached from the side.
Fuel replenishment at sea is a very complicated matter and requires the cooperation of the crew on both sides of the ship.
Even the Annapolis, which has the "Seren" system, still needs people from the supply ship to assist when refueling at sea.
Wang Yu is very curious about how supplies are carried out in this world.
He had informed Hahara Mio in advance about his ship's oil port on the deck. It was a small platform in the middle of the ship with a double-layer armored sliding door. When the armored door slid sideways, The oil receiving port can be exposed.
Wang Yu had already opened the refueling port. Since Hahara Mio had said that he did not need to worry about the subsequent refueling process, he came to the side specifically to see how the supply ship with the ship's mother worked.
And the results did not disappoint him.
The two ships approached to a distance of only about a hundred meters and began to travel parallel at the same speed.
Then, a steel cable suddenly shot over from the Kazehaya. The steel cable seemed to have spirituality and slowed down as it approached the Annapolis, and then changed direction in a way that was very inconsistent with classical physics. Tangled around the mast of the battleship.
Newton: This...I...TM...forget it...
Wang Yu was stunned by the movement of the steel cable, but then he realized that what was even more surprising was yet to come.
An oil pipeline slid along the steel cable towards the Annapolis. Then when it approached the oil port, the oil pipeline was like a flexible snake. The port was adjusted directly and then inserted without any delay. Oil outlet.
Wang Yu: "Ah this?"
What's the point of this?
This must be a very surprising scene.
Not only because of the intelligent steel cables and oil pipes, but also because of the amazingly high efficiency when refueling like this.
Replenishment at sea is always synonymous with "consuming time". Even if it is to replenish fuel to a warship without threat, the time consumed is based on hours.
Oil transportation takes up part of the time, and the operation of connecting the oil pipeline before oil transportation also takes up a long time.
But now the Annapolis and Kazehaya began sailing parallel, and it took only a few minutes to fully set up the pipeline.
Is this a bit...
Could it be said that this is also the effect of the ship girl?
While his face was still very numb, one thousand tons of diesel fuel loaded on the Kazehaya had already begun to be sent into the Annapolis' oil depot along the oil pipeline.
It would take a while to replenish the fuel, so Wang Yu returned to the bridge.
Mio Hahara's voice came from the communication.
"How about it, it's amazing." She said quite proudly.
"It's quite miraculous." Wang Yu nodded in recognition: "Is this the credit of Miss Fenghao?"
"Yes." Hahara Mio replied: "It is precisely because of Mrs. Kazehaya's excellent training that the replenishment time my fleet usually needs has been greatly reduced."
This is definitely a good thing.
Warships receiving supplies must be very vulnerable.
Therefore, the faster the supply, the lower the risk of the fleet being attacked by sirens.
Mio Hahara then asked: "By the way, Mrs. Kazahaya asked if you need any other supplies, such as food, water, water, etc. She can send them over together."
Ah, what a kind ship girl.
As expected of a supply ship, she treats all battleships equally.
However, Wang Yu did not need other supplies. He was the only one on the battleship, and the supplies were abundant.
Soon, the battleship's fuel supply came to an end.
The oil pipeline flexibly detached from the oil receiving port, and then retracted along the steel cable to the Kazehaya. The steel cable wrapped around the Annapolis' mast was also easily untied. Due to the inertia, A splash of water was drawn on the sea and then recovered smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, the fuel supply ship adjusted its course and moved away from the Annapolis.
The fuel replenishment was completed.
The Annapolis once again gained momentum to move forward. At least with these 1,000 tons of oil, the battleship could easily sail to the port area with Hahara Mio.
"Then just keep going."
Hahara Mio looked at the vast sea ahead: "I've been out for so long, I already feel homesick."
Prince Eugen hesitated and asked: "Commander, do you really think it is right to let this strange battleship enter our port area? After all, it is a battleship. Although that battleship once saved us, But after all, his identity is not one of us, our port area..."
"I understand your concerns, Eugen."
Hahara Mio turned around with a smile: "Don't worry, I know it well. I already agreed with Mr. Wang Yu about this matter before. At that time, except for entering the maintenance dock, the battleship did not It will berth at the anchorage in our port area.”
"It's good that the commander knows this."
Prince Eugen breathed a sigh of relief.
Mio Hahara turned around and looked at the Annapolis not far away.
"Don't worry, I have a hunch that his presence will be a great help to our port area."
