“Commander, Commander, come quick, come quick, I'll show you our new house!”
Near the naval base.
A Jin Buri and a Zi Buri pulled Lu Chen.
The two remodeled girls looked like dogs vying for credit, with silly smiles on their faces.
“Alright, lead the way.”
As the leader of the entire civilization, Lu Chen felt it was necessary to familiarize himself with the living conditions.
Even if he couldn't delve into the principles of the Azure World technology, he should at least understand, from a科普 perspective, what things were for and what they did.
Accompanied by Richelieu, a man, a ship girl, and two Buri, they took a small boat and sailed into the base.
“Commander, this base is built entirely as a miniature version of the port.”
“We've integrated all the production lines necessary for naval combat, able to support the logistics of a fleet of less than 100 people, including aircraft carrier ship girls.”
Richelieu introduced as they walked.
The number of fleets in the Azure World wasn't calculated by "ship," but by the number of ship girls.
100 ship girls, on Earth, would be equivalent to a fleet of 100 warships, an extremely exaggerated number.
As the maritime hegemon on Earth, Eagle's Nest only had fewer than 300 warships, and many of them were small-tonnage frigates.
Lu Chen thought that the Buri's value was still rising, being able to provide logistics for a fleet of such a large scale.
“Strange, I’ve noticed that ever since I met the ship girls, I’ve been thinking about the Buri all the time?”
“It must be the base construction addiction.”
Lu Chen immediately reflected on himself.
“This is the carrier aircraft assembly plant, able to replenish fighter jets, torpedo planes, or bombers for aircraft carrier ship girls.”
Upon entering the factory, one could see propeller planes lined up in a row.
F6F Hellcat, Seafire, Swordfish, Meteor, Dragon…
All were classic models from World War II.
If not for the ship girls standing beside him, Lu Chen would have thought he had walked into a museum.
“When fully loaded, this place can produce 300-350 various carrier aircraft per month, but since there’s no fighting recently, the factory hasn’t been operating.”
Richelieu looked at the report in her hand and reported to Lu Chen.
“Can I fly these planes?”
Lu Chen was suddenly curious. The size and shape of these fighter jets were no different from real World War II planes.
It was just that the ship girls, relying on the power of the Mind Cube, could store them in their ship gear, and with the power of the Cube, their combat power was even stronger.
“Ah?!”
The Buri and Richelieu were both stunned. They had never thought about this issue.
“Theoretically, you can, meow.”
Akashi emerged from somewhere, answering.
“All the equipment manufactured in the naval base can be used by the commander, whether it’s carrier aircraft or other weapons.”
“But since you’re not a ship girl, they can only perform at their original power, meow.”
“……”
Lu Chen abandoned the idea of flying carrier aircraft.
Without the ship girl’s buff, that thing was just a propeller plane, wouldn’t he be shot down as a sitting duck by anti-aircraft guns?
He might as well use his physical strength to punch his enemies to death.
“This is the torpedo factory, with a monthly output of 1,200-1,500, including anti-ship torpedoes, anti-submarine torpedoes, aerial torpedoes, etc.”
“This is the naval gun assembly plant. Currently, the size of the base can assemble naval guns up to 380mm. Anything bigger, you’ll have to go to the Grand Port…”
“This is the dockyard, used to repair ship girls’ hulls and manufacture new warships, monthly output…”
“This is the light weapons factory…”
“This is the ship girl’s dormitory and bathhouse, uh, do you want to take a look?…”
Lu Chen nodded frequently as they toured.
The wonder of Azure World technology was that they relied on the power of the Mind Cube to turn what looked like World War II antiques into something extraordinary.
And the production capacity was extremely developed.
This small naval base was already close to the industrial output of half of the European Union.
After touring around, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something:
“After seeing so much military industry, what about the rest?”
“What about agriculture, light industry and manufacturing? What crops do you usually grow? Potatoes? Wheat? What’s the output?”
“……”
Everyone froze.
“Agriculture? What agriculture? What is light industry?”
Akashi and Buri were dumbfounded.
“Commander, we are ship girls, we don’t farm.”
“?”
“Then what do you eat?”
“We drink warship fuel and coolant.”
“Where does the bread and black tea in the port come from?!”
“That’s snacks, it’s not a major consumption.”
“……”
Lu Chen looked at the production report in his hand, lost in thought.
In the absence of agriculture, light industry, education, medicine, and even basic science, his civilization achieved a leap-forward development.
It was the first to be far ahead in the military industry, able to defeat most indigenous peoples before the space age.
The production of cannons, fighter jets, and torpedoes was so high that they could even sell weapons to other worlds.
A cause for celebration.
Azure World technology, truly amazing.
“Damn, who develops military technology before farming?!”
