Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

In the newly built indoor test field of the development dock, Lafite, Javelin, Portland, Louis IX and others have been here for three hours and have taken turns to carry out corresponding tests.

"The test is over. Thank you for your hard work."

Yang Sikang's voice sounded in the communication channel. At the same time, the passage leading to the outside of the test site opened. After passing through a corridor, several ship girls who were conducting tests came out.

Yang Sikang walked over with a smile, and Memphis followed closely with a notebook.

"Thank you for your hard work. How do you feel?"

Javelin replied immediately and briskly:

"It feels a bit cold, and it's even colder when the wind blows. But it's still acceptable. It doesn't affect the movement of the ship's equipment or firing at all!"

Yang Sikang nodded, then looked at the others and got similar answers.

The only difference is with Louis IX. As a project ship, she seems to have stronger natural adaptability, so she feels the least bit of the cold.

"In this case, it seems that we can enter the stage of mass production."

Yang Sikang said seriously:

"We may conduct the same test three or four times in the future to adjust different equipment structures and material combinations to determine the final product. So during this period of time, you should not leave the home port, and do not accept any missions that require long time away from home."

"Rafi, I want to sleep."

Lafite yawned and walked to Yang Sikang's side. Yang Sikang touched her head and looked at Louis IX:

"The installation of the new ships of Azuma, Ibuki, and Kitakaze will be completed the day after tomorrow. As mentioned before, your proposed ships will be uniformly arranged for a comprehensive inspection and evaluation at that time. I have asked Befa to inform the other proposed ships of this matter. Since you are testing it, I will tell you now."

"Yes, Commander."

Louis IX responded with a calm and solemn salute.

"Okay, your body temperature has recovered a little. The kitchen has prepared hot soup for you. If you want to eat, you can have some snacks, but don't eat too much. Yixian and the others will prepare dinner."

"Great! ~ The dishes made by Miss Yixian are both beautiful and delicious~"

"agree."

Javelin jumped up immediately, and Rafi, who was swaying from side to side in drowsiness, nodded seriously.

Several people walked towards the kitchen, and Yang Sikang asked the maids who came with them to accompany them, while he returned to his previous room.

"Sensitive, is this all right?"

"It's completely qualified! If it can function normally under such simulated conditions, then it can function normally in polar waters most of the time. Hehehe~ As expected of me, the equipment I make is reliable! Hahahahaha!"

"That's because the material is reliable. If your design wasn't supported by our new material, it would have melted itself!"

Akashi came in through the small door and protested loudly, but Lingmin didn't care:

"But this also shows that there is no problem with my structural design!"

Mingshi rolled his eyes at her and did not continue talking to this guy whose mind was full of machinery and who had no idea about cost-effectiveness. Instead, he trotted over and handed a list to Yang Sikang.

"This is the list of materials needed to make a set of equipment. The cost is already very high, meow!"

"Don't worry, this is made for our shipgirls themselves. The external parts don't need such high specifications."

Yang Sikang comforted Mingshi, who was already beginning to feel distressed, and said with a smile as he watched:

"But our own ship girls must use the best, reliability and safety are above all else. I don't want important equipment to fail during the battle, which may directly affect the personal safety of the ship girls. I can accept any degree of resource consumption in this matter, so..."

Yang Sikang picked up the pen and circled the materials in two parts:

"Replace these two parts with the best ones for me as well."

Akashi poked his head out to take a look and pursed his lips:

"This is the part that consumes the most energy, but has the least impact on the overall performance. If you replace all of it, the cost will double, but the effect and stability will hardly be affected."

"Change it."

"Okay meow."

Yang Sikang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Mingshi, who looked reluctant because it would cost so much.

"The better our fleet performs in battle, the better our record, the easier it is to sell your products. This is much more effective than spending money on advertising, and it also protects our companions."

"Well, it's a lot better if you think about it this way. There's no problem with the preparation of materials. We have stockpiled enough in our spare time to fully meet our own needs. But the part we sell to the outside world..."

"Those who are going to be tested in the next few days, I've told them that."

"That's no problem, meow!"

When talking about this, Mingshi's interest immediately increased a lot. Yang Sikang reached out and rubbed her head vigorously, and said:

"Don't sell it everywhere, or you'll be in trouble if something goes wrong."

"I, I know, meow. Commander, if you rub it again, my ears will fall down, meow!"

Mingshi hurriedly dodged Yang Sikang's hand, straightened his hair, carefully touched his ears, confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his ears, and then continued:

"Don't worry about the sales, meow. I've already discussed the relevant business with Miss Aurora, meow!"

"what?"

Lingmin turned around in surprise. Selling these equipment to the Northern Alliance? They actually made a deal? Besides, hasn't Akashi been doing research with her? When did she go to discuss the business with Aurora, and she didn't even know about it? !

But Yang Sikang didn't seem to care about this question at all. Lingmin thought about it and decided not to say anything, so as not to appear to be too ignorant.

"Well, I have nothing to do with the research on the equipment used in the polar seas. Can we continue the discussion on other projects as we agreed to do before?"

Lingmin put his hands on his hips and looked at Yang Sikang, his eyes full of expectation. Yang Sikang nodded and waved:

"Befa, take Lingmin to the sample warehouse. Ingraham is there today."

"Yes, Master. Miss Lingmin, please follow me."

Lingmin happily followed Beifa away. Memphis sorted out the records and handed them to Yang Sikang, then said:

"Yorktown and Garden sent a message during your test that they have entered the safe channel, confirmed the safety of the surroundings, and are expected to arrive before the scheduled time. But Miss Garden thinks that since there is extra time, they can do some additional exploration, and they hope to get your opinion on this."

After listening to this, Yang Sikang smiled softly:

"Hua Yuan wants to bring a gift to the headquarters before going there, so as to facilitate the subsequent negotiations and show her strength, right? Allow her to make her own arrangements."

“But there may be uncertain risks in doing so.”

"There is nothing without risks in the world. The probability of problems occurring near the headquarters is at least much lower than in other places. If they encounter great dangers in this small adventure, then we will definitely not be the most anxious ones."

"Yes, then I will reply to them according to your suggestions later."
