The most typical example.

For example, Lexington and Saratoga.

These two are ship girls whose body shape and appearance have hardly changed even after the ship equipment has been modified, even though the front and rear of the ship equipment has changed. In addition to them, the changes in reputation of ship girls such as Hood are also very small.

However, there has been a qualitative leap in their strength.

all in all.

The changes in appearance brought about by the ship's equipment modification are actually just a side effect of physiological reactions.

The extent of the changes in the appearance of the modified ship girls is unrelated to the changes in their strength. The differences are simply due to the different physical characteristics of each ship girl, making it quite mysterious in general.

Chapter 1768 The Empire's Earth-Shattering Changes

"Rome, how long has it been since the Empire entered the final stage of its ship equipment modification?" Xiaobai asked Rome.

"Hmm... about ten minutes." Roma replied, blinking at the little white figure standing in front of her. After thinking for a moment, she quickly realized what was going on and pointed to the factory gate behind her, saying, "Oh, right, Admiral, it's not very appropriate for you to stand at the gate. Why don't we go sit in the workshop first?"

"Okay." Xiaobai nodded.

Rome led Little White and Lexington into the workshop factory.

The workshops and factories of the newbie naval base have a lot of specialized equipment. This place was originally used to store and store materials, as well as to classify and distribute the ship girls, when the newbie naval base was still in its early stages and resources and equipment were not enough.

However, as the newbie naval base gradually grew, its basic resources were moved to a larger warehouse, and ship equipment was placed in a separate equipment warehouse. Ship girls no longer had to be as careful when taking resources and equipment as before; they could just run into the warehouse and take whatever they wanted. Gradually, the workshops and factories became unmanned buildings and were eventually abandoned.

However, there's no need to worry about hygiene issues.

The maid corps led by Yamato Akagi will not let go of any inch of the rookie naval base.

As Xiaobai and Lexington entered the factory workshop, they saw a small, dome-shaped tent on the ground near the factory gate. In front of the tent, facing the wind, was a small stool, next to which were a row of dumbbells, a treadmill, and a horizontal bar.

"here it is?"

"Ah, this is where I rest." Rome scratched his head and said to Xiaobai apologetically, "After all, even in the factory, I'm not always by the Empire's side... When the Empire doesn't need me to serve tea and water, I just sit at the factory gate like this, enjoy the breeze, and do some casual exercise or something."

As Rome spoke, he subconsciously bent down to pick up the dumbbells next to the bench and began doing biceps stretches.

"Rome, you really work hard..." Xiaobai exclaimed to Rome.

"Compared to the training the eldest sister receives, this is just a drop in the ocean." Roma smiled without changing his expression, his forearms moving up and down the dumbbells with powerful movements. "How about it, Admiral, do you want to give it a try? It feels really good to sweat."

"Uh... I think I'll pass." Xiaobai looked at the dumbbell in Roma's hand, which was almost as thick as her own arm, and couldn't help but shrink her neck. "Moreover, did Yubari tell Roma how long it would take for her to finish the final stage of the Empire?"

“I asked.” Rome nodded to Xiaobai. “Yubari-nee said it depends on the individual’s constitution. It can be as short as a few minutes or as long as several days. Yubari-nee also said that it seems that the Empire is the type that takes longer, so it should be fine soon.”

"Oh." Xiaobai was relieved. She smiled at Rome and said, "I wonder what the empire will look like after the transformation is over."

"Once the Empire's refit is complete, she'll definitely become one of the top ship girls in the naval base, right?" Rome proudly puffed out her chest. "After all, she's a planned ship girl who's already in the refit phase; she has a bright future ahead of her."

Rome wore a proud expression, as if to say, "My sister is the best."

Xiao Bai chuckled softly.

Just then, a series of light footsteps sounded outside the factory gate.

"Hmm? Admiral, you've arrived?" Veneto's voice rang out from outside the factory gate.

Everyone turned their heads.

Veneto walked in through the gate carrying bright red apples.

"Oh? Veneto, you're here too?" Xiaobai said to Veneto with a smile.

“Yes, Rome contacted me before, saying that the transformation of the Empire is almost complete.” Veneto nodded, walked up to Little White, and lingered on Lexington for a moment. “…Good afternoon, Lexington.”

“Veneto, congratulations,” Lexington greeted with a smile.

"Same to you." Veneto reached into the bag, pulled a bright red apple, and handed it to Lexington. "Want an apple?"

"Thank you." Lexington accepted the apple Veneto offered.

Veneto handed the remaining apples, bag and all, to Rome, then pulled a fruit knife from his ship's storage space, took out another apple, and began peeling it while glancing around.

"Rome."

"Yes, boss, I'm here!"

"Where are the empire's people now?"

"Reporting to the boss, the Empire is over there!" Roma pointed to a closed workshop deep inside the factory, then reported to Veneto, "Yubari is currently with the Empire on the final stage of its ship equipment modification. She'll be out in a while."

"Oh, it's in the final stages. That's good, we can look forward to it."

Veneto nodded and murmured something.

Veneto is also a modified ship girl, so she is naturally very familiar with the modification process for ship girls.

"Speaking of which, Veneto, how long did the final stages of your modifications last?" Xiaobai asked Veneto.

“About a few seconds,” Veneto replied, peeling an apple.

"Huh? A few seconds?"

"Yes. After the modification was completed, the staff member in charge of my modification told me about the finishing stage. I waited with her expectantly for several hours without feeling any changes. Finally, I went for a physical examination and found out that the finishing stage ended a few seconds after my ship equipment modification was completed," Veneto said.

“Uh…” Xiaobai said.

Ok……

Why did Veneto just say "full of anticipation"...?

Xiao Bai was somewhat curious, but watching Veneto's movements as he bent down to peel the apple, and the crisp speed with which the gleaming blade sliced ​​through the apple peel, Xiao Bai swallowed the thought in his heart.

"It's peeled." Veneto finished peeling the last strip of apple skin, then placed the peeled apple in his palm and handed it to Little White. "Admiral, would you like an apple?"

"Uh... just give me half." Xiaobai.

“Understood.” Veneto’s fingers flicked, a gleaming blade flashing in his palm. He sliced ​​the apple in two, handing one half to Little White and stuffing the other half into Rome’s mouth.

“My and Jiajia’s finishing move only lasted a few seconds too,” Lexington said with a smile, holding a red apple with the peel on, to Xiaobai and Veneto. “Although it was a long time ago, the memory is still quite vivid, and I remember it very clearly.”

"Hey... Lexington, you're like that too?"

“Yes, speaking of which, the earlier ship girls in the naval base didn’t have very long finishing stages for their ship equipment modifications… but the ones that started being modified in recent years often take several days or even a week to finish.” Lexington smiled as she said this, “It’s good to be young. The Empire has been finishing up for ten minutes now, hasn’t it? It seems there should be quite a few changes.”

"Ah."

Xiao Bai took a bite of the apple and nodded in agreement.

“But no matter what the empire becomes, she will always be my and Rome’s sister.” Veneto said, hands on her hips, a slight smile playing on her lips as she spoke to Little White and Lexington.

“Big Sister is right!” Rome nodded like a hamster while chewing on an apple.

“Since the Empire is in the final stages of ship modification, all that’s left is to wait.” Veneto said, his gaze lingering on the fitness equipment at the factory entrance for a moment, then he nodded slightly. “Rome, it seems you haven’t slacked off on your workout these past few days. Very good.”

"That's right! I will keep the leader's teachings in mind!"

"Seeing how leisurely you've been these past few days, Rome, I was wondering how to bring you back to your former self after the Empire's transformation is over. Now it seems I can go a little easier," Veneto said with a touch of satisfaction, patting Rome on the shoulder on tiptoe.

"……"Rome.

At this incredibly frustrating time for Rome.

at last.

Deep inside the factory, a creaking sound of a door opening suddenly came from inside.

The workshop door was pushed open.

A puff of white steam billowed out from inside the door.

Just like the ship girl construction device creating ship girls, a large amount of white vapor instantly covered the area around Xiaobai and the others.

"There are people outside! The Empire's transformation is over! Come and see, come and see! This is my greatest masterpiece!!" Wearing a white lab coat, Yubari, with dark circles under her eyes, excitedly rushed out of the door. She shouted excitedly, waving her hands and feet wildly, jumping up and down on the spot.

Yubari spotted Shiro and the others not far away at a glance, and then his big eyes narrowed into crescent shapes full of a sense of accomplishment.

"Hey! Everyone who's supposed to be here is here!" Yubari shouted excitedly to Shiro and the others, then stood by the door, fanning the white steam rising from it as she called out to those inside, "Empire, come out! The Admiral and your sisters are waiting for you outside."

"..."

The workshop fell silent for a moment.

Subsequently.

The sound of footsteps echoed within the white smoke.

A figure slowly emerged from the white smoke and stood before the crowd.

The people on Xiaobai's side immediately turned their attention to it.

really!

It is the empire after its transformation!

The empire, after its transformation, boasted more distinctive hairstyles, more uniquely styled clothing, and a more serene and elegant atmosphere…

I have it...

Ok?

After seeing the empire's appearance, everyone tilted their heads slightly.

The empire's appearance seems unchanged.

Although the hairstyles and clothing have changed slightly, the empire's appearance remains the same.

Of course.

The people present didn't have any expectations about what the Empire would become. After all, the Empire was already beautiful and elegant in its original form. Even without more diverse changes, the current Empire was no less than most of the ship girls in the newbie naval base. The reason why everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw the revamped Empire was simply because they were puzzled.

after all.

After going through a ten-minute wrap-up process, the Empire must have undergone some physical changes, right?

However, when everyone looked at the Empire's face, they couldn't find any change in its appearance.

"How is it? How is it?" Yubari, oblivious to the confusion in everyone's eyes, stood beside the Empire with her hands on her hips, baring her teeth as she asked, "Can you see the change in appearance?"

"Uh... even if you ask me, Yubari..." Shiro covered her mouth, looking puzzled, "Has the Empire's appearance really changed?"

"That's very rude. At least the Empire has gone through more than ten minutes of the finishing stage. Her body must have changed."

"...Where has it changed?"

"Sigh, that's why you people always like to judge others based on your subjective memories." Yubari sighed, raised her hand, took out a measuring tape from her ship's storage space, pushed Empire in front of everyone, lifted Empire's arms, stretched out the measuring tape, pressed it against Empire's chest, gently wrapped it around, then, holding the measurement on the tape, handed it to everyone, waved it, and said matter-of-factly, "See? Isn't the change obvious? The data speaks for itself!"

"And they still say the empire hasn't changed."

"Look."

"The changes are so obvious!"

"Hasn't her bust size gotten bigger, Imperial?"

I'm not feeling well and can't keep going, so I'm taking another day off today.

Chapter 1769 The Secret of the Modification

Didn't it get bigger?

Has it gotten bigger?

Is it big yet?

吗！

……

The sounds of Yubari echoed within the quiet workshop and factory.

Yubari pinched the numbers on the measuring tape he had taken from the Empire with his thumb, showing them to Shiro and the others while speaking with utmost dutifulness.

All eyes turned to the measuring tape in Yubari's hand.

Xiaobai didn't know the three-dimensional data before the Empire's transformation, but on the tape measure that Yubari showed her, there was a spot marked with a red marker a little further ahead of the data she was currently holding. Combined with what Yubari had just said, that must be the upper-dimensional data before the Empire's transformation.

Everyone's gaze lingered on the marked numbers for a moment before shifting to the current data.

Ok.

After the empire's transformation, its bust size did indeed increase by a few centimeters.
