Elder brother's garrison

Page 1981

"Phew... this is the last batch of aluminum blocks." Little White watched the research and construction machine swallow the aluminum blocks, breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and muttered to herself.

"It feels like I've been busy for a long time..." Changchun murmured to himself, bending over with some fatigue and pressing his hands on his knees.

"Changchun, thank you for your hard work..." Xiaobai smiled shyly at Changchun, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been busy for a long time by myself..."

"It's alright, it's alright! It's an honor to work with the Admiral!" Changchun quickly clenched his fist and said happily, "Let's go check if the progress has increased this time!"

"it is good……"

After Xiaobai and Changchun finished digesting the scientific research construction machine, they walked to the scientific research lock and looked down at the progress.

The current progress of scientific research is 1.42%.

"Now we've fed it oil, ammunition, steel, and aluminum." Little White looked at the changing numbers on the screen, pondered for a while, and muttered to himself, "Hmm... as expected, compared to deep-sea metal, the improvement rate of directly inputting the four resources is lower... deep-sea metal should be the most suitable resource for this research and construction machine."

After a whole night of work, this is all the conclusion I've come to.

Xiao Bai sighed, put her hands on her waist and twisted her waist.

"When we get back to the temporary garrison, I'm going to lie down on the bed and get a good night's sleep..." Xiaobai said, gazing at the sky.

"After a night of strenuous work, even a ship girl would feel quite tired," Changchun said with a smile. "The Admiral took so many resources from the naval base this time, how much is left?"

"We've basically used up all four resources. As for deep-sea metal... well..." Xiaobai heard Changchun's words and looked down to open the ship's equipment space to rummage around. "There's quite a bit of deep-sea metal left... but it's not very useful for me here. Should I feed it all away?"

"I'm fine with either, but that would require pushing a raft."

"Ah... I think I'll pass on pushing the raft." Xiaobai smiled wryly. She took out a piece of mass-produced deep-sea metal from her ship equipment space, took a bite, and muttered, "I'll wait until I'm ready to feed the research and construction machine to the full capacity later. I really don't want to push the raft anymore... not at all."

"..." Changchun blinked, looking at the mass-produced deep-sea metal that had been bitten on Xiaobai's hand.

“…I habitually took it out and ate it.” Xiaobai noticed Changchun’s gaze, scratched her head a little embarrassedly, and handed the mass-produced deep-sea metal in her hand to Changchun. “These things are in my ship equipment space. I usually open them and take one out to eat whenever I want. Do you want one, Changchun?”

"Admiral... I can't bite this." Changchun gave her a wry smile.

"...Ah, sorry." The young man blushed and quickly tried to take it back.

"No need, no need, give it to me." Changchun quickly reached out and pressed Xiaobai's hand, taking the mass-produced deep-sea metal that she had bitten off. Then she held it in her arms and smiled at Xiaobai, "I really like this. Even if it's not for eating, it can be used as a decoration at home."

“…Then I’ll get you one that’s more intact; I bit off this one.”

"No, no, no, the ones that have been bitten are the prettiest."

"Eh? Is that so?"

“Yes, look at this tooth mark, so clear, so complete, so…” Changchun stretched out his hand and handed the mass-produced deep-sea metal in his hand to Xiaobai to look at.

boom! ! !

then.

next second.

The research and construction machine behind Changchun opened its giant mouth and pounced on Changchun, swallowing her and the mass-produced deep-sea metal in Xiaobai's hands in one gulp.

Changchun's petite body didn't even have time to react before it disappeared into the mouth of the scientific research and construction machine.

"..." Xiaobai's eyes widened.

Large swathes of black seawater splashed onto Xiaobai's face.

Xiao Bai looked at the research and construction machine crunching and chewing in front of it, and its eyes instantly filled with panic.

"Chang...Changchun!!!"

Xiaobai summoned its land-based ship equipment, aiming its massive turrets at the research and construction machine, and terrifying energy began to build.

However, in the next instant, something else happened that Xiaobai didn't expect.

Suddenly, a series of familiar sounds emanated from inside the research and construction machine.

"Admiral, please, don't fire! I'm alright!"

Chapter 2776 Real Food

Upon hearing the sounds coming from the research and construction machine, Xiaobai, who was controlling the land-based ship equipment, finally stopped.

"Huh? Changchun?"

"It's... the Admiral, it's me... uh..."

The sound coming from the scientific research construction machine was as if it were coming through a thick wooden door, sounding somewhat muffled and distorted, but in any case, Xiaobai was quite certain that it was the sound of Changchun.

"Changchun, are you... are you alright?!" Xiaobai rushed closer to the research and construction machine. She nervously patted the machine's metal shell a couple of times, then pressed her ear against it, carefully listening to the sounds inside. "Changchun? How's it inside? Did it bite you?"

"Admiral...uh, I...I'm fine..." Changchun's voice came out intermittently from the research construction machine, "The research construction machine didn't bite me, and I'm not injured. Its belly is dark, slippery, and crowded, which is a little uncomfortable...but, but I'm fine! It's far from painful! Admiral, please don't damage the research construction machine, or we won't be able to get the research ship girls!"

Changchun is so gentle.

Even though she was completely absorbed by the research and construction machine, she was still thinking about Xiaobai's great cause of completing the encyclopedia.

Xiaobai was moved to tears.

"Changchun, can you come out now?" Xiaobai pursed his lips, knocked on the metal shell of the scientific research construction machine, and asked into it.

"It's so dark in here... I, I'll try to find an exit first... Huh?? Oh dear!" The voice inside Changchun was speaking when suddenly a panicked voice came from inside.

"Changchun?? What's wrong?" Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat when she heard the voice, and she quickly approached the scientific research construction machine to call out.

"Admiral, my... my clothes are melting..."

"Hey?"

"Ship rigging...oh no, my ship rigging is melting too..."

"Hey??"

"Eek!!" Changchun let out an extremely shameful shout from inside the scientific research and construction machine.

Outside the research and construction machine, Xiaobai's body swayed twice.

Judging from the sounds coming from Changchun, it seems that this scientific research and construction machine is trying to "digest" Changchun?

How can this work!

Thinking of this, Xiaobai's gaze instantly became extremely serious!

Research ship girls are important, but compared to the safety of our own ship girls, even ten, a hundred, or a thousand research ship girls are not worth it!

There's no point in hesitating anymore!

Xiao Bai raised his hand, and the land-based ship-mounted main gun behind him turned around and slowly aimed at the research and construction machine. A blazing white light slowly condensed on the huge muzzle.

Just as Xiaobai was about to swing his hand and unleash the laser cannon to destroy the research and construction machine.

The research and construction machine suddenly opened its mouth and spat at Xiaobai as if it were spitting phlegm.

"tui!"

As the research and construction machine spewed its exhaust, a snow-white figure was expelled from its massive maw.

The vomited figure landed on Xiaobai instantly. Caught off guard, Xiaobai instinctively grabbed the figure's slender waist. The impact caused Xiaobai to stagger back two steps before finally falling onto the water with a splash.

Wow!

Water splashes.

Little White lay blankly on the water, watching the figure riding on its back.

The figure that was spat out was Changchun, completely naked from head to toe.

Just as Changchun had said inside the research and construction machine, her clothes had been completely melted away, and even the ship equipment that should have protected her body had vanished. Now, only her slender and delicate body was exposed to the air. Changchun herself seemed unaware that she had been spat out by the research and construction machine. At this moment, she was still riding on Xiaobai's belly with a look of surprise, looking down at her hands, her big eyes slightly confused, blinking and blinking.

"Huh? I'm out?" Changchun asked himself.

"Chang...Changchun!" Little White, lying on the water's surface, saw Changchun again. Overjoyed, she sat up and hugged him tightly. "You! You're out! That's wonderful!"

"Admiral... oh dear..." Changchun was a little dazed as she felt Xiaobai's full embrace. She smelled the faint scent on Xiaobai's body, and a relieved smile appeared on her face. "Ah... it seems we're finally safe..."

"Changchun, are you alright? Are you injured?" Xiaobai held Changchun's shoulders with both hands, her eyes scanning Changchun's body.

"Admiral... I'm fine... The research and construction machine seems only interested in my ship equipment..." Changchun felt Xiaobai's gaze, and her face quickly turned red. She hurriedly lowered her head, covering her left shoulder with her snow-white right arm, her left hand subconsciously pressing against her right thigh. She swayed slightly awkwardly against Xiaobai. "Um... Admiral, could you give me a piece of clothing... It's a bit chilly on the sea..."

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes!"

Changchun's shy demeanor, pure yet slightly charming, was like a snow-white, graceful lotus leaf stained with vibrant paint, swaying gently in the cool night breeze, coyly inviting yet reluctant to leave.

Xiao Bai blushed as she looked at it, and she quickly opened her ship equipment space and started searching.

Xiaobai's ship equipment is land-based. Due to the special nature of the ship type, her ship equipment space capacity is considered to be one of the largest among all ship girls. Therefore, Xiaobai usually puts all sorts of strange things in her ship equipment, such as snacks, drinking water, various books, tools, several sets of clothes to change into, and even a lot of things that her close ship girls might need.

Xiao Bai quickly pulled out a set of festive attire with a red bellyband from the ship's equipment space.

Changchun carefully helped Xiaobai put on the clothes she had been given.

"Phew...it fits perfectly..." Changchun looked down at his outfit and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He tilted his head and smiled at Xiaobai, "Admiral, the clothes are beautiful, thank you!"

"I'm glad you like it..." Xiaobai patted his chest.

"Admiral, this outfit... is it my size?" Changchun lowered her head, adjusted the hem of her skirt, and carefully touched her waist. Then, blinking, she asked Xiaobai curiously, "Did you secretly buy this for me?"

"This was custom-made for me... I originally planned to give it to you during the next festival so we could go shopping and see the lanterns together." Xiaobai sighed regretfully. "I wanted to keep it as a surprise for you, but I never expected it would end up being handed over like this..."

"Ah..." Changchun covered his mouth in surprise, looking at Xiaobai's disappointed expression as his plan failed, and then couldn't help but show a happy smile, "Is that so?"

Changchun skipped and hopped over to Xiaobai, wearing a new outfit. She took Xiaobai's arm and smiled at her, laughing nonstop.

"Changchun, you really scared me to death just now." Xiaobai said to Changchun with great remorse, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have taken the mass-produced deep-sea metal out of the ship's equipment space..."

"It's alright, Admiral. Look, I'm perfectly fine."

"I'm really scared... When I think about how fast this research and construction machine can digest deep-sea metals, I'm worried it will digest you too..."

"That research and construction machine doesn't seem to eat meat," Changchun joked, shaking Xiaobai's arm a couple of times. "It's alright, Admiral. You should put away the land-based ship equipment. I'm safe now. It would be a loss if you damaged the research and construction machine."

"Land-based ship equipment..." Xiao Bai heard Chang Chun's reminder and then realized that his laser cannon was hovering above his head, aimed at the scientific research and construction device.

The laser cannon had already accumulated enough energy, just waiting for Xiaobai's command to unleash it.

The scientific research and construction equipment lay trembling under the bombardment range of the laser cannon.

Xiaobai looked at the scientific research and construction device with complicated emotions. She sighed, waved her hand gently, and the laser cannon of the land-based ship equipment was extinguished. The terrifying energy slowly dissipated, and the entire land-based ship equipment disappeared in a flash of light.

"We'll have to be more careful from now on. I never imagined that this construction device would not only consume resources and deep-sea metals, but even ship girls," Xiaobai muttered to himself, puzzled.

The location where Xiaobai and Changchun were standing should theoretically be outside the predation range of the scientific research facility...

However, the scientific research and construction facility took an unusually proactive approach and swallowed Changchun whole.

Does this mean that different qualities of "bait" have different levels of appeal to scientific research and construction facilities?

Xiaobai recalled what had happened before. When she took out ordinary deep-sea metal, the research and construction machine only treated it as ordinary food, and only reacted in the area around it. However, when Xiaobai took out mass-produced deep-sea dean metal, because the quality of this piece of deep-sea metal was too high, the research and construction machine's hunting range also increased, spreading to the sea surface several steps away from the construction machine...

Do research and construction machines really enjoy eating mass-produced deep-sea dean metal?

Or……

As Xiao Bai pondered this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Changchun beside her.

Changchun looked at her palm with a sense of loss. Noticing Xiaobai's gaze, she said to him with some regret, "Admiral, it's such a pity. The mass-produced deep-sea metal you just gave me has been used up..."

"I'll give you as much as you want later." Xiaobai wrapped his arms around Changchun's waist, pressed his face against Changchun's red undergarment, and whispered to her, "As long as you're happy, I'll give you anything."

Changchun was naturally embarrassed by Xiaobai's words.

What an old-fashioned love confession...

But as the saying goes, "dirt is dirt..." But when the admiral said it, it was surprisingly both embarrassing and funny, leaving one unsure of what to do.

Chapter 2777 Let Me Meet You

"Admiral... I'm embarrassed that you're saying this all of a sudden!" Changchun said, her face flushed, as she pushed Xiaobai away and pouted at her.

"Isn't this a reaction from being scared after almost losing you..." Xiaobai sighed.

"I already told you... I'm fine, it's just that my clothes and ship equipment melted." Changchun said to Xiaobai again, "My body is not injured, and it doesn't hurt at all."

"You're not injured, that's the best..." Xiaobai patted Changchun's hand and said to her with emotion.

Changchun smiled at Xiaobai, her gaze passing past Xiaobai's ear and landing on the scientific research construction machine not far away.

On the scientific research construction machine, the third scientific research lock gleamed with a golden light.

Changchun smiled as she looked at the lock on the scientific research construction machine. As she looked, her smile froze slightly. Then, as if she had discovered something, Changchun's eyes widened instantly, and she pointed at the scientific research construction machine with a mixture of surprise and delight.

"Hey! Admiral! You, you, you, look!"

"Huh? What are you looking at?" Xiaobai asked, following Changchun's arm in confusion. She then saw the lock hanging on the lock, and was surprised to see the percentage progress displayed. "Eh??"
