Elder brother's garrison

Page 2687

"Regarding the design drawings for each of the modification plans, each design drawing was meticulously crafted by a team led by an experienced chief ship equipment designer, including Dr. Yubari, who has recently been making waves at our ship equipment research center."

"You should all have heard of Dr. Yubari. She is the only outstanding ship equipment designer in the world who has ever carried out missile modification. More than 90% of the existing ship girls with missile-equipped ship systems are based on her modification designs. Her missile ship equipment theory laid the foundation for our ship equipment modification discipline's exploration of missile ship equipment, clarified our path, and played a vital role in maintaining world peace..."

Perhaps it was the staff's reassuring explanation, or perhaps it was the sound of Yubari's name, but the tense and worried expressions on the faces of the ship girls present immediately subsided.

"Alright, ladies, it's almost time. Now it's time for us to begin the ship's equipment modification..."

The staff members smiled and led the modified ship girls to various workshops.

"Oh, right, it's worth mentioning that Dr. Yubari, being a ship girl, might come to inspect..."

As the staff were talking, the peaceful and tranquil renovation workshop was suddenly shattered by a piercing shout.

"Aa ...

"Help! Dr. Yubari has run away again!!!"

"What! Dr. Yubari ran away!"

"Dr. Yubari ran away?! He ran away?!"

"Noooooooo! We still have eighteen design drafts for her to review!!!"

"Dr. Yubari left a note in her office saying she's going back to the naval base to visit family and replenish her energy, and she wants us to hold out for her for a few days!!!"

"And then she was gone! She was just...gone!!!"

"No—Dr. Yubari, we can't live without Dr. Yubari!!!"

"Help! Dr. Yubari, how many days is 'a few days'?! Two days, three days, or five days, six days, seven days?!!"

"What's going on now?! Dr. Yubari, why are you home again?! ...

"The modification plan I have still needs Dr. Yubari's review!!!"

"Oh my god!"

"Oh, the earth—"

"Dr. Yubari————"

Deep within the modification workshop where the ship girls were located, a sudden, earth-shaking, ghostly howl erupted.

The shouts seemed to come from the previously calm and composed researchers. Now, these researchers were like different people. They clutched their heads and seemed to have transformed into writhing humanoid creatures, running wildly amidst the flying design drawings. They were swirling in the wind, crashing and howling, crawling, burrowing, rolling, twisting, screaming in despair, and shouting in grief. The scene in the workshop was like hell, unbearable to look at.

The staff members stared at the scene before them, their mouths twitching. They turned around intermittently and gave the ship girls behind them awkward smiles.

"Ah... these... um... please rest assured... no matter what happens, our Kyoto Naval Equipment Research Center will always maintain the highest quality modification experience... um..."

Behind the staff.

The ship girls awaiting modification subconsciously swallowed and looked at each other.

A deep sense of apprehension and unease about the future involuntarily surfaced in their eyes.

……

"Ah sneeze!"

On the side of the newbie garrison.

While inspecting the modified equipment on a triangular ladder that was taller than a person, Yubari suddenly shuddered and couldn't help but close his eyes and sneeze hard.

With the sudden sneeze, the delicate wrench in Yubari's hand slipped from his grasp and fell downwards.

Standing below Yubari, Shiro looked up, staring wide-eyed at the wrench that was growing larger and larger in her field of vision.

Just as the wrench was about to smash into Xiaobai's forehead, three hands swiftly appeared from behind, to the left, and to the right, simultaneously grabbing the wrench from above at the top, middle, and bottom.

"Admiral, be careful."

"Oh dear, so close."

"..."

Alaska, Guam, and Super Big, along with three others, all held wrenches and slowly moved them towards Xiaobai, placing them in his hand.

Xiaobai blinked, and subconsciously reached out to take the wrench that the three people handed her.

"Ah... thank you Dr. Wu, Qi Ba Ba Lin Qi Yi..." Xiao Bai murmured.

"Sorry, sorry!" Yubari's voice came from above.

The four people at the bottom of the triangular ladder all looked up.

Yubari was rubbing his nose and speaking apologetically to the people below.

"I suddenly felt a really itchy nose... and I couldn't help but sneeze... and I lost my grip on the wrench!" Yubari asked Shiro below, "Admiral! Did it hit you?"

"I'm fine." Shiro smiled, picked up the wrench, and handed it to Yubari above the triangular ladder. "Here you go."

"Hehe, thank you, Admiral." Yubari bent down, reached for the wrench, and then stood up to tighten it on the tall instrument in front of him.

"Yubari, are you allergic to pollen?" Alaska asked Yubari curiously, one hand on his hip.

"No, why?"

"Hmm, that's strange. You don't look like you have a cold, so why are you suddenly sneezing?"

"Hahaha!"

Yubari smiled, but she didn't explain anything. After confirming that the machine in front of her was working properly, she patted the outer casing of the instrument, and then jumped down using the triangular ladder under her bottom.

There was a crash.

Wearing a white lab coat, Yubari landed on the floor in front of Shiro. She patted non-existent dust off her hands, stuffed the wrench into her ship equipment space, and then grinned at everyone.

"Hmm! All the instruments have been checked and there are no problems. We can proceed with the missile shipboard modification right here."

"Oh, oh, oh—" Everyone applauded upon hearing Yubari's words.

The place where everyone is now is naturally the "modification factory" set up by the newbie naval base for Yubari.

Yubari had just returned to the newbie naval base and received the mission from Shiro to modify the missile equipment of the Alaskan and Guam ships. She brought everyone here almost without stopping and then began the pre-modification instrument checks in a flurry of activity, which continues to this day.

"Speaking of which, will my sudden call for you from Kyoto affect your work there?" Shiro asked Yubari curiously, as if she had suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, Admiral, that's nothing." Yubari waved her hand dismissively, smiling at Shiro, "Missile ship equipment! Modifying ordinary ship equipment is nowhere near as interesting as modifying missile ship equipment! Besides, besides being the director of the Kyoto Modification Center, my most important identity is also a member of our naval base's ship girls! For such a major life event as modification, of course, we should put our own people first, and push everything else aside!"

"I see..." Xiaobai was somewhat moved by Yubari's words.

"So, Guam and I are going to be doing renovations here next?" Alaska asked, raising an eyebrow as she looked at the equipment in the renovation factory.

"Yes."

"Aren't you going to send us to Kyoto?"

“There are still a lot of modification procedures to go through in Kyoto, it’s quite troublesome,” Yubari explained to Alaska. “And if we go through the procedures, you two might be assigned to other directors in charge of modification design. Those people are all eyeing the ship equipment of the missile ship girls now, wanting to oversee several modifications! I don’t want my sisters to become guinea pigs for others. It’s better here. The factory equipment here is just as good as theirs, and with me here, there’s no need to worry about the technical aspects. I’m one of the best in missile modification!”

As Yubari finished speaking, she confidently gave a thumbs-up to Alaska and Guam, revealing a very bright expression.

Chapter 3780 Next One!

Yubari is right about one thing.

With the successful modification of missile ship equipment several times, the technology for modifying missile ship equipment in the world has become increasingly mature. It is estimated that in time, missile ship girls will no longer be the exclusive force of novice naval bases.

Times will always progress.

The novel existence of missile ship equipment has a huge advantage that cannot be surpassed by conventional ship girl ship equipment, which is destined to be the future development direction. Perhaps in the next ten, twenty, or thirty years, with the popularization of missile ship equipment modification technology and the discovery of other ship girls with missile talent, each high-level naval base will be able to gradually build its own missile fleet.

A great era is just around the corner.

But that being said... missile shipboard equipment is certainly not that common nowadays.

After several successful modifications, Yubari brought the theoretical technology of missile modification to Kyoto, but most of the designers there only had theoretical knowledge, and there were very few design directors with practical experience.

After all, ship girls with missile talent are extremely rare.

Even in a naval base teeming with powerful individuals, finding a ship girl with missile talent is a matter of selecting one in a hundred; one can only imagine how difficult it is in other naval bases.

Alaska and Guam have finally had their missile potential discovered by the transformative forces in Jinan. If they were to go through the proper channels and apply for modifications in Kyoto, there would likely be many designers and directors eager to get their hands on the missile ship modifications. Yubari might even be "forced" to relinquish this opportunity to modify the missile ship systems of Alaska and Guam by these people using their sense of dedication and righteousness.

Yubari acknowledged that giving those still-envious designers a chance to practice is good for the world in the long run.

If these people don't have the opportunity to practice in real-world situations, the world's missile modification technology cannot progress.

...but...

Yubari is also a ship girl, and she has her own selfish motives too.

Only Yubari herself could provide the best missile modifications for Alaska and Guam; she couldn't bear to entrust these two good sisters to designers with no practical experience.

Compared to the so-called development of the world, the well-being of our own people is the most important.

So Yubari smiled brightly at Alaska and Guam, gave them a thumbs up, and confidently took on the task of modifying them.

"Oh, by the way, Admiral, could you please retrieve the recent training results from Alaska and Guam?" Yubari asked Shiro as if she had just remembered something.

"Sure, do you want me to write it down?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.

"Huh? It...it works too?"

Yubari handed Shiro a form.

Xiaobai took the pen, thought for a moment, and then quickly wrote down a large amount of combat data on the table.

Alaska and Guam approached, somewhat surprised as they watched Xiaobai smoothly write down a large amount of combat data on the form, data that even they themselves couldn't remember.

"Admiral, you've memorized all of this?"

“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded. “After all, the naval base also needs to arrange training for each ship girl. Providing training plans for ship girls is also part of the admiral’s work. They need to look at all this data.”

"Being an admiral is really not easy..."

Alaska looked at the increasingly densely filled form in Xiaobai's hand and sighed softly.

A strand of Alaska's pink hair fell onto Xiaobai's arm. Xiaobai turned her head to look at Alaska's profile, smiled, and silently scratched her cheek.

After filling out the form, Shiro handed the data to Yubari.

Yubari picked up the data and looked down at it.

"Hmm... since the data was compiled by the Admiral, its accuracy should be guaranteed... I will refer to these design and modification plans," Yubari said, smiling at Shiro. "Leave Alaska and Guam to me!"

How long does missile modification typically take?

"Considering that these two are the first battlecruisers I've taken over for missile modifications... it might take a little longer than usual, maybe about a week?"

"Oh, okay..." Xiaobai nodded, and they looked at Alaska and Guam. "So you'll be staying in this factory for a week now, okay?"

"I have no objection," Guam shook its head.

“I’m fine,” Alaska nodded.

"Do you need me to call your friends and family?" Xiaobai said with a smile. "They can accompany you when you're modifying your ship's equipment."

"Oh, it's just a simple modification, nothing serious." Alaska smiled and looked at Guam. "We're fine with each other by our side, right, Guam?"

"I have no objection," Guam shook its head.

"And it's said that the ship girls will also change their appearance after the modification," Alaska continued with a smile. "It's quite nice to do a modification so quietly and then suddenly surprise your friends!"

"As expected of Alaska, this is indeed an idea you could come up with." Xiaobai smiled at Alaska. "Then I'll leave this place to you for now. Jinan and I will leave first to find other ship girls that can be converted into missile ship equipment."

"Oh! Admiral, go ahead with peace of mind!" Alaska nodded with a smile.

Everyone looked outside the factory being renovated, where Jinan was sitting in a chair, his hands forming a telescope as he kept looking outside.

Xiaobai withdrew her gaze, waved to Yubari, Alaska, and Guam, and then walked towards Jinan outside the door.

After Xiaobai left, Chaoda nodded slightly to everyone and then turned and followed Xiaobai away.

Alaska watched the giant figure leave, thought for a moment, then turned back to Yubari, who was studying training materials, and spoke.

"Yubari!"

"Huh?" Yubari looked up. "What?"

"What's the probability that a ship girl's appearance will change after being modified?" Alaska asked with a smile.

"It's purely a matter of probability... Hmm... Based on my experience, the probability of a ship girl's appearance changing along with her appearance after modification is quite low." Yubari put down the data and thought for a while. She then raised her hand and pinched her chin thoughtfully. "Hmm... But speaking of which, there's a long-standing theory in our industry, but without concrete evidence, that the reason why a ship girl's appearance changes after modification is because the ship girl herself has other desires regarding her appearance..."

"Does this mean that when a ship girl is being remodeled, she will change in the direction she wants to become?" Alaska asked.

"Hmm? Hmm... It's just an uncertain statement, after all, a ship girl's appearance is always fixed. Facial features, figure, skin tone, and so on can't be changed at all. Some ship girls wish they were a little fatter, or a little thinner, or a little fairer, a little darker, a little taller, or a little shorter, and this desire to change themselves is incorporated into the ship equipment during the refit period, because refit is a ship girl's only chance to change herself in her lifetime, and this thought will unconsciously feed back into her body." Yubari shrugged and spread her hands, saying, "But in the end, it's also a matter of metaphysics."

“Oh…” Alaska nodded, smiled, and then pinched her arm. “I also feel that my body is a bit too thin. It would be great if I could be a little more plump after the modification, like Super Yamato.”
