Admiral of Hogwarts

After leaving Massachusetts, Indomitable, and Salem to sort out the pile of papers in the attic. Hugo followed Split directly to the Balkans.

Because the war was extinguished, the Soviet Union and the others had always hoped that Hugo could visit this place, and now that this sub-dimension was available, Hugo could just take this opportunity to see the ship girls' future home port in this world.

The place where Hugo and the others came out was in a house on the edge of Tartini Square. The original owner of this house fled to Canada to take refuge due to the war, so the Soviet Union and the others bought it.

Tartini Square is the most conspicuous square in the background of the game. It was originally the inner harbor of Piran, and was later filled in in 1894 and became what it is today.

Because it was a bit late now, Hugo quickly took a quick shower under Split's guidance, and then fell asleep in the bedroom of this room.

Hugo woke up from bed around 9 o'clock the next morning. After all, I spent several hours wandering around the Alps last night and slept very late at night.

"Marshal, you're awake." When Hugo walked down the stairs to have breakfast, he happened to see Split placing the freshly prepared breakfast on the dining table.

"Yes - don't you want to have breakfast?" Hugo asked with some confusion, seeing that there was only a plate with food and a set of cutlery on the dining table.

Although ship girls don't actually need to eat, most of them have habits similar to humans. In other words, as long as they are not busy, they will eat and sleep like normal humans.

"I've already eaten in the morning." Split said with a smile, then sat down opposite Hugo with a folder. "After you finish eating, we will go to visit the Earth Core Furnace that has been put into production."

So after eating, Hugo and Split used the sub-plane as a springboard to join the ship girls who had started working beside the furnace.

Hugo had previously imagined what this so-called furnace in the center of the earth would look like. The most imagined of them was a river of magma made of various molten metals or something, and on both sides of the river there were dozens or hundreds of Forged machinery.

But after he came out of the subdimensional space door, he found that his imagination was completely different from the reality. Because on the other side of the space door is a very modern-looking hall.

"Welcome, Comrade Commander." After seeing Hugo come out, several ship girls headed by the Soviet Union raised their right hands and saluted Hugo, "Welcome to visit our metal smelting center."

"Thank you for your hard work." Hugo, who put on a white military uniform, also raised his right hand and returned the salute. Then, following these ship girls, they began to visit this core industry.

This is a very modern underground base. The walls and floors use a lot of materials like plastic, metal and even glass. The lights cast a soft light from behind these materials.

It's just that there aren't many people in the base. Except for Hugo and the ship girls, there are only some robot-like constructs walking back and forth in the corridors of the base, as if they are transporting something.

"These are very simple robots. They can only do the simplest tasks such as transportation, cleaning, and inspection." Seeing Hugo observing the surrounding robots with curious eyes, the Soviet Union proudly introduced .

"These robots were jointly designed and manufactured in Massachusetts and Salem, integrating the technology and magic of ordinary people. They can greatly alleviate our current manpower shortage problem."

Having said this, the Soviet Union explained the reasons for this. It turned out that after producing the first batch of fairy silver, the ship girls discovered that the performance of this metal in all aspects was far superior to the base metals originally used for their ship equipment.

In this way, the properties of Fairy Silver suddenly changed for them. From a simple commodity, it has become an item that ship girls can use to improve their abilities.

"Except for one-tenth of the fairy silver currently produced, which is used in the production of various materials, the remaining 90% is used to replace the metal of our ships." The Soviet Union explained to Hugo seriously.

"This level of improvement is far more powerful than we imagined before. To take the simplest example, just a thin layer of Fairy Silver plating in many places can improve us by 20% to 30% in some aspects."

"That's why you applied for Fairy Silver from me before, right?" Hugo nodded and then said. "You are right about this. After all, compared to all other industries, you are the most important."

"Also, is there enough fairy silver now? If not, I think we can stop the production of broomsticks and a series of magic props, and concentrate all supplies on you -"

"Thank you, Comrade Commander, but the current production of fairy silver is enough for us." The Soviet Union smiled and said, "We have a complete plan in this regard, so we just need to follow the steps."

"That's good, that's good. Remember, this kind of things will be given to you first in the future, and other needs can be put directly to the back. After you use them up, you can consider other needs-"

After hearing what the Soviet Union said, Hugo nodded with satisfaction and continued walking along the corridor. After a few minutes, he felt the temperature around him begin to rise, and then a huge hall like a football field appeared in front of him.

In the center of the hall, a series of machines almost occupied the entire hall. At the same time, bursts of sound like the roar of a giant beast were made. A large number of robots with different shapes and functions are busy coming and going around the machine.

The appearance of these machines looks very similar to machines in the ordinary world, but if you look closely, you will find that the outer walls of the machines are covered with densely packed magic runes that shine like stars.

"This is the furnace in the center of the earth after our improvement." Because the surrounding environment was a bit noisy, the Soviet Union used the Admiral Network to say to Hugo.

"Compared with the original geocentric furnace of the goblins, this new geocentric furnace has a larger volume, higher efficiency, and a very high degree of automation. It can be said to have completely crushed the goblins' products."

Unlike the conservative wizards in the magical world, ship girls are extremely receptive to ordinary people's products. So this new geocentric furnace that combines magic and technology was designed and built.

Based on the current shipments of fairy silver in the wizarding world and the information left behind by the wizarding party, the ship girls can confirm that the efficiency of the earth's core furnace controlled by the fairies is only half of their furnace. .

At first, the ship girls thought they had made a mistake in their calculations, because they did not believe that their simple improvements could achieve such good results, but later they discovered the mystery.

"If I explain this reason in detail, I would probably write a paper worth tens of thousands of words, but if it is simple, it can be described in one sentence." Soviet Union said with a smile on his face.

"It has been thousands of years since the goblins invented the geocentric furnace, but their production has been stuck at the level of manual workshop production due to the population problem in the magic world, while we have adopted industrialized production."
