“……”
The opposite ship girl was completely stunned.
From receiving the cross-world communication to hearing the concept of the multiverse, Richelieu had absorbed an overwhelming amount of information in a short period of time, her brain was in overload.
Hearing Lu Chen talk about immigration agreements, non-aggression treaties, and mutual defense treaties, she was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of thing was this? Treaties between worlds? Was the scale this grand?
After being stunned for a while, she finally reacted:
"You mean, you want to cooperate with the Port?"
"Yes."
Lu Chen nodded.
His idea was simple, to ask the Port if they needed resources like oil and metal ores, and he could provide them.
After all, the entire Earth was now his.
As long as there were ship girls willing to migrate, help him with construction and infrastructure, it would be fine.
"Hmm..."
Richelieu tapped lightly on the table, pondering.
The Port had been waging war against the Sirens for years, and resources were indeed scarce.
Moreover, due to the sea area blockade, the range of the expedition forces was becoming smaller and smaller.
But there were still many issues when it came to cooperating with a stranger from another world.
"Sorry, Mr. Lu, this involves two worlds. It requires the joint deliberation of all major fleets, and I am not authorized to make a decision alone."
She nodded slightly, acknowledging.
"Even if you are willing to provide us with resources, how do you plan to deliver them to us?"
"Two universes, at least a few hundred billion light-years apart, right? The Port doesn't have the ability for interstellar travel..."
"That's my problem to solve."
Lu Chen replied.
"Are you able to receive guests now? Or should I come over and talk to you in person? Cross-world communication is quite mentally draining."
"Ah?"
Richelieu was stunned again.
"In person? We can... "
"Are you coming by spaceship? How long will it take? When will you arrive?"
"Now."
Lu Chen pressed the "Cross" button on the holographic interface.
Swish——
【Opening Channel: Earth—Azur Lane World】
The space in front of him was distorted, a spatial channel opened before him, fantastic rays of light intertwined, like a whirlpool.
Stepping into it, along with a feeling of weightlessness, his entire being instantly vanished from the real world.
On the other side, Richelieu's exclamation came.
"Eh?!"
"What's that whirlpool? A portal? You can freely travel between worlds?!"
"Wait! I'll call someone to pick you up right away!!"
………
Azur Lane World.
Azure sky, boundless, cloudless.
Boom——
Suddenly, accompanied by a deafening roar.
A colorful spatial channel tore through space, slowly opening up in the sky above the beach.
The little ship girls who were playing around on the beach felt a sudden tremor beneath their feet, they all stopped their activities, stood on their toes, squinting their eyes to look up.
"An earthquake?!"
"What is that? It's black, and there seems to be a shadow inside?..."
"Is it a new weapon of the Sirens? Or is Yuudachi experimenting again?!"
"Should we fire a shot first to check?"
They stared dumbfounded at the portal in the air.
The shadow in the spatial channel was getting bigger and bigger, closer and closer.
"Wow wow wow, someone's falling down!"
The little loli rushed to make way.
Bang——
Lu Chen fell from the channel, landing steadily on the ground.
"So, this is the Azur Lane world?"
"Why does the spatial channel feel like a tumble dryer?"
He rubbed his head, trying to regain his senses.
Traveling between the two worlds took about ten minutes, the experience wasn't great, crossing worlds consumed a lot of mental energy, making him feel dizzy and nauseous.
Luckily, he landed near the Port, if he fell into Siren territory it would be troublesome.
At the same time, he glanced at his panel.
【Cooldown Time: 29 Days 23 Hours 59 Minutes】
Opening a spatial channel unconditionally has a one-month cooldown, not too long, acceptable.
"Hmm?"
Lu Chen surveyed his surroundings.
He was standing on the sandy beach, before him was a vast blue sea and sky, not far away was a group of naval port-style buildings, which was probably the Azur Lane Port.
There was also a circle of curious little cuties around him.
A few little loli destroyers had even materialized their ship outfits, looking at him with caution.
"Isn't that Shigure, Mutsuki, and Yuyutsu?"
He recognized the few little ones.
"Wow, aliens can talk!!"
The little ship girls ran away, shouting and screaming.
"Aliens!! Alien invasion!! Go find Enterprise-nee!"
……
Half an hour later.
Breathing the fresh sea breeze, under the escort of the ship girls, Lu Chen walked towards the main building of the Port.
His sudden arrival in this world caused a minor commotion, but the Port quickly sent someone to greet him.
Daughterland.
That was Lu Chen's first impression upon arriving in the Azur Lane World.
Ship girls, as the name suggests, this world is full of girls who are transformed from warships.
Destroyer little lolis, cruiser girls, aircraft carrier and battleship big sisters.
All kinds of ship girls live in the coastal Port.
Besides, there were also some fluffy little yellow chicks in charge of errands and sweeping the floor.
That seemed to be Azur Lane's mascot, the Manjuu.
Judging from the area, it was much larger than the largest military port on Earth, the port of Murmansk.
Their technological tree is somewhat similar to Earth, some airplanes and artillery can vaguely see the design style of World War II, but not exactly the same.
It should be modified with the technology of this world.
"Mr. Lu, this way."
"The flagships of the major fleets are waiting for you."
Passing through the plaza, at the entrance of the main building, a ship girl with silver hair, wearing a maid uniform, gave Lu Chen a curtsey.
"Oh, Belfast, nice to see you."
Lu Chen nodded in greeting.
Under the guidance of the maid, soon, they arrived at the top floor's reception room.
Several ship girls dressed in formal attire were already in place, rising to greet him.
"Eagle Union Flagship, Enterprise."
"Royal Navy Flagship, Queen Elizabeth."
"Eastern Dragon Flagship, Yixian."
"Iron Blood Flagship, Bismarck."
……
All of them are flagships from different factions.
Without a commander, the Azur Lane world implements a high degree of ship girl autonomy, the Port is essentially a federation of the major fleets.
"Visitor from another world, you are the first human to arrive at the Port."
As the first person to contact Lu Chen, Richelieu stepped forward.
She was still wearing a red and white, gold-trimmed short skirt dress, paired with red suspender stockings, revealing her "absolute domain" just right.
It is difficult for ordinary people to control this gorgeous style and color scheme. If the temperament is insufficient, it is easy to look vulgar.
But it perfectly set off her nobility and elegance as a cardinal.
Her slightly fluffy golden hair was evenly draped over her shoulders, her purple eyes held a hint of seriousness and heroism.
Richelieu greeted Lu Chen in French.
"Bonjour, Mr. Lu."
"Welcome to the Azur Lane Port."
