Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

After Akashi left, Yang Sikang couldn't help laughing.

"This guy Akashi really doesn't miss any opportunity to make money."

Belfast smiled slightly and asked:

"Master, do you really want Akashi to be responsible for all matters in this regard?"

Yang Sikang nodded and said with a smile:

"Although those books are very profitable to sell, and judging from her appearance, they should be sold for more than 120 US dollars each, but that is not the most important thing."

Yang Sikang said:

"After all, the number of books she can take out in a mezzanine is limited, and it takes a long time to sell them. After all, what she takes out from us is books, paper, or even nothing at all. the same.

The point is not what she takes out, but what she brings back. "

Yang Sikang saw clearly from the beginning that although making money from selling books seemed to be of great benefit, it would not be such a huge effort for Akashi.

Akashi is not an idiot. Although it can save space by replacing ordinary materials with special materials that can only be produced by the few machines Yang Sikang has, the amount of materials required is not small. How can it be done quietly?

Moreover, the cost of replacing this material is very high. Considering the value of the materials themselves, even if her books can be sold for 120 US dollars each, it will take at least several years to recover the money.

And she currently has a lot of profitable business in Yang Sikang's fleet, and she can do a lot of business relying on Yang Sikang's reputation. If she just wants to make money, she can find other ways, such as building a few containers at a time just for her. Would Yang Sikang refuse her something?

So Yang Sikang knew very well from the beginning that Akashi wanted him to know her idea.

"The existence of those mezzanines is useless for normal business, but if you are doing something privately, there is a lot of room for maneuver. For example, secretly trading certain rare materials, confidential transportation of equipment, and even personnel exchanges .

Haha, as long as it is kept secret, there are so many things that can be done. Smuggling some books? What is this benefit? "

Belfast smiled, of course she also wanted to get this, but since Yang Sikang could see it clearly, she certainly didn't need to remind her.

"Akashi should have done this for the sake of confidentiality. After all, even if this reason is put on the surface, Donghuang or other camps will only turn a blind eye if they know about it, and they will not let it happen because of it. Why are you arguing with us?"

Yang Sikang shook his head and said with a smile:

"But this is Akashi after all. If she can't make some money here, she will definitely have no motivation to mention this."

"Ms. Akashi's hobby is making money, but this is also a good thing for the fleet."

"So everyone knows that she loves doing business, but no one will stop her."

Yang Sikang agreed with a smile.

The dock decoration work will be completed soon, and according to the report Akashi and the others submitted before, the idle time will only be a few days.

From materials to construction, everything is taken care of by Akashi, and the corresponding results are naturally based on the requirements of the top grid.

Therefore, Yang Sikang had to let those machines start producing the materials Akashi wanted now.

Fortunately, the production efficiency of those special materials was not low, and the output could keep up, otherwise he might have to try to build a new machine.

After setting up the machine's program and automating the production of materials, Yang Sikang looked at the scene in the laboratory and began to think about whether to increase the scale.

"Belfast, do you think we should increase the size?"

"Master, do you want to produce more materials?"

"In addition to the original set of machines, we have only added one set of equipment in the past few years."

Yang Sikang said:

"Although the efficiency has been keeping up before, that's because our demand for special materials is not too big. As for the only Gu Diao that has a big demand, we stocked up on materials more than half a year in advance."

Belfast nodded and continued:

"So, if you want to expand the scale, you are going to use more materials and parts that can only be produced by these machines, right?"

"After all, our own development dock has been built. More research projects can be carried out in the future, and the environment is confidential enough, so more projects can be carried out."

Yang Sikang said thoughtfully:

"Although the Gu Diao is very strong, it is of a size that can be expelled after all. Considering the future, perhaps we should make some preparations in advance."

"Are you worried about energy supply?"

Yang Sikang nodded. Belfast's words were the core reason why he needed to consider carefully instead of immediately deciding to add equipment.

Now to make these machines, he can completely use existing machines to produce materials and parts, and then solve most of the problems here.

But while these machines are easy to use, they also consume a lot of energy.

Initially, it relied on independent power generation equipment to barely maintain operation. With the establishment of this research institute and the transfer of these machines, it relied on the complete power generation equipment here, and it also underwent modifications by several ship girls.

But there is no doubt that if the current number of machines is doubled, the power consumption of research laboratories in other areas will be compressed, which is a scene he does not want to see.

"Then it would be better to wait for the results of energy research first, right?"

Belfast said:

"You don't need to use a lot of related materials right now, so you can solve the energy problem now, and then you can add more machines to make up for the lack of time."

Yang Sikang thought for a while and nodded.

The plan proposed by Belfast is basically the safest. After all, changes in energy can affect not only the use of the institute, but also many other aspects.

The Mind Cube is gradually becoming the most commonly used stable energy source in his fleet.

The income from his fleet's mental cube is much higher than that of others. Even if you put aside those special ways, you can get quite a lot of mental cubes just by completing the daily training of the ship girls, patrolling and other commissions. .

Thirty or forty ship girls made his fleet much more resourceful than other commanders in terms of mental cubes. The 100% success rate in construction even saved a lot of mental cubes.

To put it simply, other commanders may need to save dozens of cubes to build a ship girl, but he only needs one or two, depending on who he wants to build.

However, the cruel fact is that Yang Sikang now feels that the energy provided by simply using the Mental Cube is no longer enough.

"Mind Cube, energy..."

Yang Sikang muttered softly, and after a long time he suddenly said something completely unrelated to these words:

"Belfast, what do you think we need to do to get the Crown to allow us to establish our own research area on Bermuda?"
